Avocado Dip

A New Favorite Dip

I’ve fallen in love with this recipe for Avocado Dip. It’s kind of like your best-tasting guacamole but dressed up a little. It has all of my favorites–avocados with crumbled goat cheese, jalapenos and garlic–what’s not to love?

I first discovered a similar recipe on Living Lou’s Blog. (@livinglou has lots of great recipes, by the way). Lou’s recipe uses feta cheese, which I’m sure is equally delicious, and a little less seasoning. Since I only had goat cheese in my fridge, that’s what I used. And since cumin is my favorite spice, it got added to this recipe as well. If you prefer a less Latin flare, leave out the cumin.

So what makes this Avocado Dip so delcious?

• Avocados
• Crumbled goat cheese
• Sweet Vidalia onion
• Lots of garlic (2-3 cloves)
• Cilantro
• Jalapeno (seeds removed or not depending on your heat tolerance)
• FRESH lemon juice
• Cumin
• Salt (I use just a little seasoning salt)
• Extra-virgin olive oil

How to Make Avocado Dip

• Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor.
• Pulse until well combined and smooth.
• Adjust flavors according to taste.
• Serve with chip or fresh vegetables.
• If you don’t have a food processor, just chop all the vegetables and use a potato masher to combine.
