Instructions
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Add fresh lime juice, Greek yogurt, garlic, chopped cilantro, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the avocados.
Using a fork or a hand blender, mash and mix the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
