Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 pieces Jalapeño (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl or food processor.
Add lime juice immediately to the avocados to prevent browning.
Stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy texture and extend the freshness of the dip.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl for a burst of herbaceous flavor.
Grate or finely mince the garlic clove and mix it in for a subtle kick.
Add ground cumin for a warm, earthy undertone, and salt to balance the flavors.
If you want a bit of heat, finely dice half a jalapeño and add it in (optional).
Drizzle in olive oil to round out the flavors and create a silky texture.
Use a fork to mash until smooth (for a chunkier texture), or blend in a food processor for a velvety consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice or salt if needed.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container with plastic wrap touching the surface of the dip to prevent air exposure and maintain its vibrant green color.
