Avocado Dip

By CandyH

Ingredients

• 2 avocados; halved, seeded and scooped
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha or other hot sauce
• 3/4 cup chunky salsa
• 3/4 cup Sargento shredded mild cheddar cheese, divided use
• 3/4 cup chopped tomato; divided use
• salt and pepper to taste
• fresh cilantro for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, mash avocados with a fork or potato masher.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, cumin and Sriracha.
3. Fold sour cream mixture and salsa into the avocados. Add in 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 cup tomato, season with salt and pepper; mix well.
Cover mixture; chill 1 hour. Before serving sprinkle remaining cheese and tomatoes over dip. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with chips.

Notes:


-The flavor of this dip will vary depending on the salsa you use. I prefer a fresh variety over canned.
-If you prefer a smoother dip, place the avocado and sour cream in a blender and pulse your machine until you reach a smooth consistency.
-If you want a thinner dip, add in a bit more sour cream.
-Feel free to substitute reduced fat sour cream and/or cheese. I’m not a fan of the fat free stuff, so I wouldn’t recommend that option.
