This easy creamy avocado yogurt dip is both mellow and tart, with a hit of spice from the jalapeño and garlic. It’s perfect with veggies or chips!
The other night we were invited to a get-together of my oldest friends, by which I mean, to clarify, the group of friends I’ve been friends with the longest. We are all about the same age. Many of us have been friends since we were nine years old, others joined the gang later and some met even earlier in first grade.
I wanted to contribute to the evening’s festivities so I made this dip and also baked a tropical Bundt cake. (Stay tuned for that recipe this Thursday.)
As we usually do, we told stories on each other and laughed so hard! It was one of the best nights we’ve enjoyed in a VERY long time. To my delight, this dip was a hit! I have to agree. It is GOOD. And so easy!
Creamy Avocado Yogurt Dip
This dip can be made earlier in the day you want to serve it but do cover the surface snugly with cling film so air can’t touch the top and refrigerate, if not serving immediately. I have no idea if that old wives' tale is true but I also saved the avocado pits and tucked them in there too.
Ingredients
1/2 cup or 122g Greek yogurt
2 fresh, just ripe avocados
1 clove garlic
1 small fresh jalapeño
small bunch cilantro (see photo for guide, let's not get too hung up on size/weight here)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Juice from half a lime (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
Method
Smash and mince the garlic. Remove the stem and finely chop the jalapeño. You can remove the seeds if you don’t like things too spicy. I leave mine in. Remove the tough stems and roughly chop your cilantro.
Into the vessel of your food processor, add the yogurt. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop the avocados into the food processor.
Add in the garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin, salt and lime juice.
Whiz until smooth.
Enjoy with crudités or chips. We NEEDED potato chips that night. Don't judge. It's NOT guacamole, but this would also be good with tortilla chips. I bought black pepper and salt chips and they were awesome.
