Equipment

  • Fork or a hand blender

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • a pinch of smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • a splash of fresh lime juice

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado

  • Slice the ripe avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the green flesh into a mixing bowl. A ripe avocado should be creamy and easy to scoop out. Remember, freshness counts here.

Step 2: Mix Ingredients

  • Add Greek yogurt, finely chopped cilantro, honey, and a splash of fresh lime juice into the bowl with the avocado. These ingredients bring together an extraordinary balance of creaminess and flavor.

Step 3: Season

  • Sprinkle in the sea salt and smoked paprika. These will enhance the overall flavor profile. If you enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeño.

Step 4: Mash and Blend

  • Using a fork or a hand blender, mash and blend the ingredients until smooth. How smooth you choose to make it is up to you; some prefer a chunkier dip, others like it silky.

Step 5: Taste Tests

  • Give your dip a taste. Adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice, salt, or honey as desired. Personalizing it is half the fun.

Step 6: Chill (Optional)

  • For best results, refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. But if you can’t wait, dig in right away!

Notes

  • Use Ripe Avocados: Look for avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure. This means they are just right.
  • Fresh Ingredients Matter: Always use fresh lime juice and fresh cilantro for the best flavor.
  • Balance Your Flavors: Too much honey can overpower the dip. Add it gradually and taste as you go.
  • Don’t Skip the Salt: Salt enhances flavors—don’t overlook it!
  • Experiment with Spices: Try adding garlic powder, cumin, or even chili powder for a unique twist.
