Avocado Herb Dip

By devogirl

The hardest part about making dips that are both flavorful and delicious is that they're usually packed with mayonnaise and sour cream which are heavenly, but not very healthy -- certainly not anywhere as nutritious as a rich avocado, which is a great substitute.

Avocados have the creamiest consistency for making a dip. They're packed with the antioxidants beta-carotene and vitamins C and E. Even better is that you can add to this recipe virtually any fresh herb you can find.

Ingredients

• 1 avocado, peeled and pitted
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or vegannaise
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons herbs (i used cilantro, dill and garlic chives and a pinch of marjoram, but you could use tarragon, basil, parsley, or anything you enjoy)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
2. Serve.
