Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or substitute sour cream)

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)

1 small jalapeño, seeds removed and finely diced (optional, for added heat)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the creamy flesh into a mixing bowl using a spoon.

    Mash the Base: With a fork or potato masher, thoroughly mash the avocados to your desired consistency—whether you prefer it smooth and creamy or slightly chunky.

      Add the Creaminess: Incorporate the Greek yogurt into the mashed avocado, stirring until they are well-blended and creamy.

        Infuse Flavor: To the mixture, add the fresh lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the flavors meld together.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste your dip and adjust the seasoning as preferred; for a little kick, fold in the finely diced jalapeño, mixing gently.

            Finish with Freshness: If you're using cilantro, sprinkle it over the dip and fold it in gently to maintain its vibrant flavor and color.

              Chill and Serve: For optimal flavor, cover the dip with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface to prevent browning, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, an assortment of fresh veggies, or your favorite snacks for dipping.
