Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled

1 jalapeño, stemmed and seeded (adjust based on desired spice level)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese for a zesty twist

Tortilla chips or an assortment of fresh vegetables for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cutting the avocados in half and using a spoon to scoop the creamy flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Take the jalapeño, cut it in half, and remove the seeds and stems to control the spice level. Mince the garlic finely, ensuring even distribution of flavor throughout the dip.

    Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the avocados, chopped jalapeño, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), fresh lime juice, and minced garlic.

      Season and Blend: Add a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper to the mixture. Blend until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency. If you prefer a dip with more texture, pulse the mixture until it's just combined but still slightly chunky.

        Incorporate Freshness: After blending, transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the chopped cilantro gently. If you’re opting for the feta cheese, add it at this stage, ensuring not to over-mix so that the feta retains its crumbly texture.

          Taste and Adjust: Sample your dip and tweak the flavors as necessary. Feel free to add more lime juice, salt, or pepper according to your tastes—you want an engaging balance of creaminess and zest.

            Chill and Serve: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. For the most refreshing taste profile, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving; this helps the flavors meld beautifully.

              Enjoy: Serve the dip alongside crispy tortilla chips, fresh cut vegetables, or spread it on sandwiches for an extra layer of flavor. Indulge in the delightful combination of creaminess and heat!
