I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my avocado pate turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This was a great recipe! I made it for a party and it was a big hit. The avocado pate was creamy and flavorful, and the lemon juice added a nice brightness.

This avocado pate was a hit at my last party! It was so easy to make and everyone loved it. I served it with crackers and vegetables and it was the perfect appetizer.
