Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
- Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado flesh until it reaches a smooth but slightly chunky consistency.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the mashed avocados and stir thoroughly to combine, creating a creamy base.
- Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the avocado-yogurt mixture.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice into the bowl, which will help prevent browning and add a bright, tangy flavor.
- Season the dip with salt and freshly ground black pepper, starting with a small amount and adjusting to taste.
- Gently mix all ingredients until well incorporated and smooth.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
- Chop fresh cilantro leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the dip as a garnish.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe avocados: Look for avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy.
- Use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor - bottled juice can taste flat.
- Mince the garlic very finely to distribute its flavor evenly throughout the dip.
- For extra smoothness, you can use a food processor instead of mashing by hand.
- If not serving immediately, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip to prevent browning.
- Experiment with additional herbs like dill or chives for unique flavor variations.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some finely chopped jalapeño.
