Avocado and Greek Yogurt Dip
This dip was born during those hot San Diego days, to use up the inevitable half of an avocado. It is easy, has only a few simple ingredients, and is just so damn delicious. It is HARD to photograph, man, but I hope you’ll make it!
Ingredients
- ½ large Hass avocado (or 1 small avocado)
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- 1 lime, halved
- ¼ tbsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tbsp kosher salt
SUBSTITUTIONS:
- Avocado You could definitely make a delicious Greek yogurt dip by using a full 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt and adding in a lot of finely chopped herbs to the rest of the ingredients!
- Greek Yogurt Sour cream, labne, or any kind of plain yogurt.
- Scallion I love the subtle onion-y bite that scallions add, but if you don’t have scallions, you could really really finely chop up about 1 tablespoon of any kind of onion and add that in. If the onion is REALLY making you cry when you chop it up, soak it in water first, before adding it, to mellow out how strong it is.
- Lime Lemon juice or 1 tablespoon of a light colored vinegar.
- Garlic powder This ingredient is pretty key, but if you don’t have any, add equal parts onion powder, or 1 small grated garlic clove.
Instructions
- Add the avocado to a bowl and mash until smooth.
- Stir in the yogurt, scallions, HALF of the lime juice, garlic powder, and salt.
- Stir to combine.
- Taste and add more lime juice or salt if needed.
- Serve with cut up veggies, tortilla chips, pita chips, or whatever you like to dip with!
