What to Make w/ Avocado & Greek Yogurt Dip

Is it hummus? Is it guacamole? Maybe a little bit of baba ghanoush? Whatever it is, this avocado dip is an absolutely delicious amalgam of avocados, Greek yogurt, lemons or limes, walnuts or tahini, olive oil, and a dash of salt and pepper.

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 3 avocados
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 limes or 2 lemons, juiced
  • 3/4 c. Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp. tahini or 1 c. walnuts
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • dash salt
  • dash pepper
  • 2-3 hot peppers (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients to a food processor. Process for 2 minutes, or until smooth. Make sure to scrape the sides occasionally.
  • Serve chilled. It's perfectly fine at room temperature and can be served immediately in a pinch. Although I would recommend refrigerating for about an hour.
    Avocado dip is also a great meal to make ahead of time and keeps without discoloration for about a week. Garlic, lime juice, salt, and olive oil all serve as natural preservatives. So, while avocados tend to go bad rather quickly, the natural browning and spoiling process is vastly reduced in this recipe. It keeps incredibly well.
