Notes

Makes about 3 cups of dip. Adapted from MyRecipes.com
  • Blender tip: Works in a blender or food processor. High-powered blenders like a Blendtec or Vitamix don't require pre-chopping - just toss everything in and blend.
  • Use ripe avocados - press gently on the outside and it should yield slightly without feeling mushy. Not ready yet? Leave them on the counter for a day or two.
  • Fresh lime juice only - bottled lime juice has additives that dull the flavor. In a dip this simple, it makes a real difference.
  • Taste before you serve - avocados vary in richness, so adjust your salt, lime, and jalapeño before setting it out.
  • Substitutions: No cilantro? Use flat-leaf parsley. No jalapeño? Skip it or add a pinch of cayenne. Whole milk Greek yogurt gives the best texture but low-fat works too.
  • Make ahead: Press a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip - touching it completely - before refrigerating to slow browning. Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Looking for the perfect pairing? Our Crispy Air Fryer Pita Chips are thicker than store-bought and hold up beautifully to a creamy dip like this one and can be made in 10 minutes.
