Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados (soft but firm)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Slice the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Using ripe avocados ensures your dip is naturally creamy and smooth without needing much effort.
  2. Add Fresh Ingredients: Squeeze in fresh lime juice, add minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream. These ingredients brighten the dip’s flavor while enhancing texture and creating balance.
  3. Season to Perfection: Sprinkle in salt and freshly ground black pepper. Season gradually, tasting as you go to find the ideal balance that brings out the avocado’s natural richness.
  4. Blend until Smooth: Using a fork or a food processor, mash or blend everything until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. For chunkier dip, pulse gently or leave some avocado pieces intact.
  5. Chill and Serve: Let your creamy avocado dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld perfectly. Serve chilled for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados by gently squeezing to avoid overly mushy or underripe fruit.
  • Use fresh lime juice to prevent browning and add essential acidity.
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley lifts flavor and adds beautiful color.
  • Add more yogurt or sour cream to adjust creaminess for an extra silky dip.
  • Make ahead by preparing a few hours before serving and keep covered tightly with plastic wrap pressed to the dip’s surface.
