Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and cut the avocado in half. Remove the pit and scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Grate the cheddar cheese if it’s not already grated.
- Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocado until it reaches your desired consistency. You can make it as smooth or chunky as you like.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the mashed avocado. Mix well until the avocado and yogurt are fully combined.
- Stir in the grated cheddar cheese. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Taste the dip and add salt and pepper if needed. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dippers such as tortilla chips, pita bread, veggie sticks, or crackers.
- If there are any leftovers, store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
Tips:
- Make sure the avocado is ripe for the best flavor and texture. It should be slightly soft to the touch but not mushy.
- You can add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the dip to prevent the avocado from browning and to add a fresh, zesty flavor.
- Feel free to experiment with other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or feta, for a different flavor profile.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of salt, pepper, or a dash of hot sauce.
- Serve the dip immediately for the freshest taste, but if you need to store it, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the dip to minimize browning and refrigerate.
There you have it - a quick, tasty, and healthy Avocado and Cheese Dip that's perfect for any occasion. Serve it with your favorite chips, veggies, or even use it as a spread for sandwiches. Enjoy the creamy and delightful flavors that this simple yet satisfying dip brings!
