Avocado Dip Recipe
There’s something sensational about a luscious avocado dip. It’s a dip you won’t mind dipping your fingers into (CUCUMBER YOGURT SALAD). Avocado by itself is mouthwatering, with a luscious, mild, slightly nutty flavor, a subtle buttery texture, and a hint of peppery spice.
It’s high in healthy monounsaturated fats, good for the heart, and cholesterol-free. Avocado is also nutrient-dense, with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, but still calorie-rich, so moderation is key.
