Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium size Avocado
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt to the blender with the avocado.
Pour in the lime juice, adding a bright citrus flavor which also helps prevent the avocado from browning.
Add the garlic powder, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the avocado cream and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the avocado cream to a serving bowl or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve as a dip with vegetables or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or salads.
