Basil Avocado Dip Recipe (2024)

Been making variations on this forever, long before seeing this recipe.Vary citrus & herb elements, depends on what I have on hand or what I'll be serving w/ it. Never add a sweetener.Recently made it w/ lemon juice/zest, basil, parsley, capers. Always Greek yogurt but added some mayo, sour cream, served as sauce w/ savory tomato summer pudding.Versatile, can be thinned as salad dressing, or as is with crudite, cooked veggies, poultry, fish, seafood, burgers,as sandwich spread.Even added tahini.

Yes I like this dip. It’s definitely in the rotation. Made this without honey( ie to MY taste) and with onion and garlic powder since I did not have basil , fa*ge 3% Greek yogurt is what I had. Also a little white pepper I mashed it in a bowl instead of getting out my food processor. So simple.

This has become my go-to app recipe -- it's easy, delicious and everyone loves it. I usually bump up the basil.

I think one scant cup of yogurt is too much, and 1/2 a cup would suffice for a start depending on the consistency you prefer. I added lemon zest for added brightness. Solid dependable dip recipe.

Give me Guac any day, even Guac with peas! Not much flavor except for the greek yogurt and I didn't use as much as called for.

Make this one, but I think this should be one of those "no recipe" recipes. Just aim for creaminess and eyeball all of it. I didn't look too closely at any of the measurements and it turned out amazing. Now that I am looking at the measurements I think the amount of yogurt would be too much. I used a large avocado and probably 1/2 c of basil. Highly recommend

If you have leftovers of this or guacamole, press plastic wrap down onto the dip trying to get the air out to slow down oxidation that causes it to turn brown. Like you would a pudding to prevent a skin. PS I rarely use plastic wrap, and haven't purchased in at least 5 years, not sure what I'll use when it runs out, any suggestions?

made 2 Avos (doubled) for 15 people. Almost all of it left over. But, I served in 5 different dipping bowls so that may not have helped. do not double next time.

Added sprouted sunflower seeds and upped the lime. Also used some tarragon which was lovely.

Everyone loved this dip. My Haas avocados were very small. I ended up using 3 avocados and 2 tsp. of lime juice with all other ingredients used as listed.
