Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, packed

1 small garlic clove, minced

1 small jalapeño, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)

1 lime, juiced

½ cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1 tablespoon olive oil for extra creaminess

Instructions
 

Prepare Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

    Combine Ingredients: Add the fresh cilantro, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño, lime juice, Greek yogurt, and olive oil (if using) to the bowl with the avocados.

      Blend Until Smooth: Use a fork or a food processor to mash and blend all the ingredients together until the dip is creamy and smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend until it's mostly smooth but still has some avocado chunks.

        Season: Taste the dip and season with salt and black pepper to your liking. Adjust lime juice if you prefer it more tangy.

          Chill (Optional): For a refreshing dip, let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

            Serve: Scoop the creamy avocado cilantro dip into a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with tortilla chips, fresh vegetable sticks, or use as a spread on sandwiches.
