Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe avocado pitted and peeled
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 lime juiced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 jalapeno seeds removed
  • salt to taste
  • 3 ice cubes
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves optional
  • 1-2 tablespoon water as needed

Instructions
 

  • Pit and peel the avocados. Juice the limes. Roughly chop the garlic and trim the jalapeno, removing seeds for less heat.
  • Add all ingredients into a blender or food processor - avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, mint (if using), garlic, jalapeno, salt, and ice cubes.
  • Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and adjust - add more lime juice for brightness, more salt to season, or more jalapeno for heat.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, pita, or fresh vegetables.
    We love this avocado dip with Chicken Enchiladas, or Chicken Quesadilla!

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the richest, creamiest texture. Low-fat versions work but the dip will be slightly thinner!
  • Ice cubes help achieve an ultra-smooth texture and keep the dip a vibrant green color.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip before refrigerating to prevent browning.
  • Best consumed fresh or within 24 hours.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt or tahini.
 
Avocado Dip Ideas & Variations
One of the best things about this recipe avocado dip is how easily it adapts. Here are some of our favorite riffs to inspire you:
 
Smoky & Roasted
Add a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce and a pinch of smoked paprika for a deep, smoky version.
 
Tahini Twist
Swap the Greek yogurt for 3 tablespoon tahini and add a splash of cold water. Nutty, rich, and dairy-free.
 
Tropical Vibes
Add ¼ cup fresh mango and a squeeze of orange juice alongside the lime. Sweet heat at its best.
 
Herby Green Goddess
Go heavy on the mint and cilantro and add a handful of fresh basil and a splash of olive oil.

 

What to Serve with Avocado Dip
The avocado dip ideas don't stop at chips. This dip is incredibly versatile - use it as a:
Spread on toast, wraps, burgers, or sandwiches. Sauce drizzled over grilled chicken, fish tacos, or grain bowls. Dip for raw vegetables, crackers, pita chips, tortilla chips, or even crispy falafel. It also makes a fantastic swap anywhere you'd normally use sour cream or mayo.
