Cut the large ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.

Peel and finely chop the small garlic clove, then add it to the mixture in the food processor.
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
