Slimy green gloop Halloween dip recipe

How to make slimy green gloop 1. Put the avocado on a chopping board and cut it lengthways from the stalk.

Chop the chilli in half, remove the seeds and chop it into small pieces. Do not put your hands anywhere near your face. Add the chili to the food processor and then wash your hands and the chopping board thoroughly.

Use kitchen scissors to trim the spring onion and snip it into small pieces. Add the snipped onion to the food processor.

Cut the lime in and squeeze the juice from half. Add the juice to the food processor.

Chop the stalks off the parsley and add the leaves to the other ingredients. Put the lid on securely and dry your hands. Whiz to blend the ingredients and then slowly add olive oil through the funnel; it should blend in as you whiz. You want a thick paste so you may not need all of the oil.

Spoon the mixture into a dish and get dipping!
