this lovely picture of green deliciousness does not do justice to the goodness available to you. in this second edition of what to do with random ingredients, we combine two seemingly disparate ingredients: greek yogurt and avocado.
greek yogurt has a tang kinda-sorta-but-not-really like sour cream. the big difference is that greek yogurt has a great deal of protein in it. in fact, a serving of greek yogurt has twice the protein of an egg!
that said, this dip/spread is versatile. the recipe below is more dippy with balanced flavors. if you want more of a creamy guacamole, use a full avocado and maybe even add some diced tomatoes. i ate this with chips that had cheese melted on them--and let me tell you, the medium white cheddar was amazing with this dip.
oh, and in the spirit of cupboard-cleaning, there are a few dried ingredients in here that can easily be replaced with fresh. happy dipping, spreading, guacamole-ing to you!
creamy avocado dip/spread
1/2 avocado, mashed (can up it to 1 full avacado for more of a guacamole)
1 six-ounce container plain greek yogurt (can use sour cream)
1 tsp lemon juice (could use lime here)
1/2 tsp dried cilantro (or 1 tsp fresh chopped)
1/8 tsp garlic salt
1/8 tsp dried onion
pepper to taste
mix well. or in the infamous words of my mom: "mix as usual".
