Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, soft and perfectly ripe
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados: Cut ripe avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the creamy flesh into a bowl, ensuring it’s free of brown spots for the best taste and consistency.
  2. Add Fresh Lime Juice and Garlic: Squeeze in fresh lime juice immediately to preserve the green color. Mince a garlic clove finely and add it to the bowl, giving the dip a slight tang and savory depth.
  3. Incorporate Greek Yogurt and Seasonings: Stir in Greek yogurt or sour cream to enhance creaminess. Then, season generously with salt and pepper while tasting frequently to get the balance just right.
  4. Blend to Perfection: Use a fork or a hand blender to mash and mix the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture without any lumps.
  5. Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Chop cilantro or parsley finely and sprinkle it into the dip and on top to add a fresh, colorful touch that brightens each bite.

Notes

  • Use ripe, soft avocados for best texture and flavor.
  • Always use freshly squeezed lime juice to keep the dip vibrant and prevent browning.
  • Add salt and pepper gradually while tasting to avoid over-seasoning.
  • Blend until smooth but keep some texture for a better mouthfeel.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
