Pico de Gallo

• 4 tomatoes
• 1/2 red onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons of coriander
• 1/4 jalapeno
• Lime juice to taste
• 3-5 ml cannabis oil
• Finish with olive oil

To start this cannabis-infused pico, start by dicing your tomatoes and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Next, chop the red onion to the desired size, chop the garlic and add both to the bowl. Bundle the fresh coriander into a firm ball and cut into thin strands. Add coriander and finely chopped jalapeno to the bowl. You can leave out the jalapeno, but it gives the pico a subtle kick. Finally, add cannabis oil of the strength you want and finish off the mixing bowl by pouring in lime, salt, and pepper to taste. When the pico needs a little more oil to come together, slowly drizzle in olive oil and mix gently.

guacamole

• 4 ripe avocados
• 1/2 cup pico de gallo
• Salt and pepper to taste

If you made the pico before starting the guac, you have a super easy recipe. Core the avocados and place the pulp in a small mixing bowl. Then add 1/2 cup of your previously made pico to the bowl and mix until smoothly incorporated. If the pico is already infused, a small amount of THC will be carried over into your guac. If you’ve skipped the cannabis oil step for the pico or prefer something a little stronger, feel free to add more cannabis oil – blend in gently.

There are two more flavorful dips to add to your cannabis kitchen arsenal. What edibles do you bring to eat on the beach? Let us know below, and check out more recipes at Here!
