Instructions
Cut the ripe avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Add half a cup of plain Greek yogurt to the bowl with the avocado.

Include half a teaspoon of onion powder to create a subtle yet aromatic foundation.
Season with a quarter teaspoon of black pepper to enhance the overall taste.
Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil into the mixture to help emulsify and add smoothness.
Pour in two tablespoons of water to adjust consistency, allowing for a silky texture.
