Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

1 medium jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped (adjust based on your heat preference)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin for a unique flavor twist

Tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks (such as carrots and cucumbers) for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Carefully cut the avocados in half, twist to separate, and use a spoon to scoop the creamy flesh into a mixing bowl. Ensure the avocados are ripe for the best flavor and texture.

    Combine Ingredients: In the bowl with the avocado, add the finely chopped jalapeño, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), chopped cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, and ground cumin (if you’re using it). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

      Blend Together: Using a fork or a hand mixer, begin mashing the mixture, incorporating all the ingredients until you achieve a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary—add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your flavor preference.

        Taste Test: After blending, sample a small spoonful to assess the heat level. If you prefer a spicier dip, incorporate additional chopped jalapeño. Conversely, if you wish to mellow the heat, mix in a bit more yogurt or sour cream.

          Chill & Serve: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl, cover it with cling film, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling period will allow the flavors to deepen and meld beautifully. When ready to serve, present the dip with a generous bowl of tortilla chips or an array of colorful fresh veggie sticks for dipping.
