Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add all the above ingredients to your food processor and process on high until the ingredients are smoothly combined.  Use a spatula to scrape down the sides when needed.
    3/4 cup cilantro, 1.5 teaspoons garlic paste, 1 avocado, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 cup avocado oil, 1 teaspoon horseradish, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 dash pepper, 1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • Taste and adjust salt as needed and transfer to a glass jar.
  • Serve, smile, and enjoy.

Notes

Helpful tips

  • Fresh lemon juice is best, but lime juice is a suitable substitute.
  • For an extra spicy kick, add seeded jalapeños or increase the chipotle powder.
  • This avocado dip can be used anywhere you’d normally serve guacamole.
  • Always wash fruit before juicing or using as garnish to remove pesticides.
  • To clean fruit: Use a fruit/vegetable cloth—scrub with the rough side, then rinse and dry.
  • Or wash with unscented natural soap, scrub with a vegetable brush, rinse, and dry.
  • Cilantro often holds dirt or sand. Swirl it in a bowl of cold water, shake off excess, and blot dry on paper towels.
  • Garlic paste works well, but fresh garlic cloves are also a great option.
  • For a pourable version, replace Greek yogurt with sour cream and increase the oil to ¾ cup.
  • Switch up the flavor by using fresh basil or parsley instead of cilantro.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
