Is it a dip? Dressing? Spread? This versatile avocado recipe blends the rich, velvety texture of ripe avocado with tangy Greek yogurt and a bright splash of lemon juice. It’s perfect for spreading on sandwiches, dolloping onto tacos (it’s amazing on the Crock Pot Chicken Tacos,) or simply enjoying with your favorite crudités.
Avocado Dressing and Dip
Ingredients
- 1 avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (Fage Total 0% works beautifully here)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- juice from one small lemon
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (I like Lousiana for this recipe)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
- Blend avocado, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, hot sauce, and black pepper together in a blender until smooth.
Notes
A smaller blender, like a Magic Bullet, works great for this volume of ingredients.
The salt and pepper can be adjusted to taste.
This recipe produces a wonderfully thick and creamy end result. If using as a dressing, use sturdy greens like romaine and mix your salad and dressing before serving. Or you could do what I do and pick whatever greens you want, and do the ol’ fork in the dressing first, then salad approach.
