Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled

1 jalapeño, stemmed and seeded (adjust for spice preference)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese for a tangy twist

Tortilla chips or fresh veggies for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by cutting the avocados in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Carefully chop the jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat if desired, and mince the garlic.

    Blend the Base: Add the avocados, jalapeño, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, and minced garlic into a blender or food processor.

      Season and Blend: Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse it until just combined.

        Incorporate Freshness: Once blended, stir in the chopped cilantro. If you're using feta cheese, gently fold it into the dip for added flavor.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste the dip and adjust seasonings. You can add more lime juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.

            Chill and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. For the best flavor, let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

              Enjoy: Serve with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches. Dive into the deliciously creamy and spicy flavor combo!
