Fair warning: You are going to want this avocado dip with every meal this week. I’m obsessed and I think you will be, too! It’s lusciously creamy, thanks to the ripe avocado, and bursting with fresh lime, cilantro and jalapeño flavor. Like guacamole, you can serve this as a party dip with chips, or dollop it onto any remotely Mexican-ish meal. You can also thin out the avocado dip so it becomes more of a sauce, which you can drizzle onto nachos and more.
I make my guacamole by hand for the best texture, but this creamy dip is incredibly easy to to make in a food processor or blender. Just toss your a few basic ingredients into your machine of choice, and blend ’em up. Avocado dip is ready in five minutes, from start to finish. Unlike store-bought creamy dips, this avocado dip is made with wholesome, plant-based ingredients. It’s a dip you can feel good about!
Uses for Avocado Dip
Think of this dip like guacamole! Here are a few ideas for this versatile avocado dip:
As a party dip, with chips and/or crisp raw vegetables, such as carrot sticks, cucumber rounds, and bell pepper sticks. On tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tostadas, nachos—basically any Mexican entrée could benefit from this fresh sauce. As a salad dressing, thinned as necessary with additional water (or lime juice, for extra zip). Dollop it on scrambled eggs, roasted sweet potatoes, and/or black beans—avocado dip complements these flavors especially well!
