Creamy Guacamole Dip

No reviews

I love the taste of this fresh, creamy guacamole. The simple ingredients allow the salty, bright lime flavor to shine, making it the perfect companion for chips, veggies, tacos, or toast. Two small but intentional techniques make this guacamole dip extra good: marinating the onions in lime juice and adding a touch of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess. It’s a recipe I can always count on to be a crowd pleaser!

  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe avocados
  • 1/3 cup onion (1/2 of a small onion)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1/2 of a lime)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek-yogurt
  • 3/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: 

Finely mince the onion and place it in a small bowl. 

 

Step 2: 

Pour the lime juice over the onions and gently mix so all the onions are coated in juice. Let the onions marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour). 

 

Step 3: 

In a medium bowl, peel and mash the avocados with a fork. 

 

Step 4: 

Add the Greek-yogurt and the onion-lime mixture to the mashed avocados and mix. 

 

Step 5: 

Stir in the chopped cilantro and salt. 

 

Step 6: 

Taste and adjust cilantro and salt as needed. 

Notes

Use ripe avocados

Adjust cilantro and salt to taste

Top tip: Don’t skip marinating the minced onion in fresh lime juice! It keeps the guacamole bright green and boosts the flavor. Fifteen minutes does the job, but letting it sit longer—up to an hour—makes it even better.
