Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
If the dip is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend again until you reach the desired creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, lime juice, or spices, if needed.
