Equipment

1 food processor

Ingredients

½ cup unsweetened, plain plant-based yogurt
1 large ripe avocado
1 jalapeno, deseeded and sliced
zest from 1 lime
juice from 1 lime
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon minced red onion
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
1-3 tablespoons filtered water *if desired to thin out the dip

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until creamy, scraping down the sides with a spatula a few times.
Add a tablespoon of filtered water at a time until you have reached the ideal consistency. I use typically 1-2 tablespoons. You may choose not to add any.
Transfer the dip to a small glass bowl or jar. Chill for an hour before serving or serve right away.

Notes

Feel free to omit the jalapeno if you do not care for spice. Or, replace it with red pepper flakes.

This dip should not stay out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Otherwise, place the bowl of dip over ice.
