We love this green dip with some tortilla chips. You can also serve it with some veg sticks—carrot, celery, cucumber, etc. Plus, it goes well with meat as a sauce, and salads or burritos as a dressing.

Ingredients You'll Need

• Avocado: if you prefer a nice-looking sauce, aim for the ones with the greenest flesh you can find. Otherwise, any ripe avocado would do, even the ones with bruised spots.
• Cilantro and garlic: as much as you’d like.
• Greek yogurt.
• Chips: we use Doritos®.
• Salt, pepper.
• Lime juice: for a milder tanginess, opt for lemon juice instead.

How Healthy Is It?

Avocado contains a plethora of nutrients, most important of which is healthy unsaturated fats. They benefit the brain, the heart, and the body overall. Avocado is also full of micronutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, B vitamins, and tons more, all having great benefits on the body.

Originally the dip was made with sour cream, but we use Greek yogurt to lower the saturated fat content. Each portion now only has 2.7 g saturated fats while still being rich and thick.

How to Store

Keep this dip in an air-tight container and it’ll last for about four days in the fridge. It’ll taste even better when served cold.
