Avocado Tomato Chutney

Avocado Tomato Chutney or dip is another simple recipe that you can make in a few minutes. You might be familiar with various tomato dip recipes or guacamole with avocados, but in this recipe, we will be mixing the two to make this amazingly delicious and healthy dip.
With many nutrients and antioxidants such as Folic acid, Omega 3, Magnesium, Potassium, Fibre, Vitamin A, C, D, E, K and B group vitamins, this avocado dip is a superfood.
We add the tomato to this dish to prevent the avocado from going black. The avocado oxidizes and discolours very easily when it is left out; the acids present in the tomato prevent the Avacado from turning black.
After you have followed the direction provided below, you can serve this avocado chutney on any dish with a bland flavor. You could even use this condiment in a sandwich.
