Instructions
-
1Prepare cannabis olive oil: Infuse extra virgin olive oil with cannabis butter for 20 minutes at 60°C (140°F), strain, and cool.
-
2Roughly chop jalapeños and garlic.
-
3Add all ingredients to a blender: avocados, jalapeños, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, cannabis olive oil, water.
-

-
5Season with salt, cumin, and sugar.

-
7Chill for at least 30 minutes. Keeps 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
Pro Tips
- Ice-cold water is the trick for the characteristically bright, non-oxidized color. Cannabis olive oil instead of cannabis butter makes the salsa vegan and lighter.
