Indulge in a refreshing and flavorful avocado dip that's perfect for any occasion. This creamy dip combines the rich taste of ripe avocados with the zesty tang of lemon juice and the fresh crunch of cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. Whether you're hosting a gathering or simply craving a healthy snack, this avocado dip is sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Garlic: Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Wash the cherry tomatoes, then finely chop them.
- Cucumber: Wash the cucumber. You can either peel it or leave the skin on, based on your preference. Dice the cucumber into small pieces.
- Coriander Leaves: Wash the coriander leaves thoroughly, then finely chop them.
- Using a fork or a masher, mash the avocado flesh until it reaches your desired consistency. You can make it smooth or leave it a bit chunky based on your preference.
- Pour the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice over the mashed avocados.
- Add the minced garlic to the bowl.
- Mix well to combine. The lemon juice will help to prevent the avocados from browning and add a tangy flavor.
- Add the finely chopped cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and chopped coriander leaves to the avocado mixture.
- Stir everything together gently until well combined.
- Taste the avocado dip and adjust seasoning as necessary. You can add salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- Transfer the avocado dip to a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately with your choice of chips, bread, or vegetable sticks.
- If you have leftovers, cover the dip with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to minimize air exposure. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados for a creamy texture. A ripe avocado yields slightly to gentle pressure.
- To avoid browning, preparing and serving the dip immediately is best. If you need to store it, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the dip to minimize air exposure.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste. A bit of salt, pepper, or even a pinch of cumin can add extra flavor to the dip.
- For a smoother dip, use a blender or food processor. If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash the ingredients manually with a fork.
This avocado dip is a versatile and healthy addition to your culinary repertoire. With its simple yet delightful mix of ingredients, it's perfect for dipping, spreading, or even as a topping for various dishes. Enjoy the fresh flavors and creamy goodness, and watch it become a favorite at your table.
