I first whipped up this avocado dip on a lazy Sunday when I was staring at a pile of ripe avocados from the farmer's market.
I discovered that a splash of extra lime juice made the flavors pop even more, brightening up the whole concoction.
Sharing this dip with friends always feels like a mini celebration, and I love that it's nourishing while being indulgent.
It's the kind of recipe that reminds me why I adore simple, plant-based goodness.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Make sure your avocados are beautifully ripe—soft but not mushy, they're the heart of this dip. If you're out of fresh cilantro, I've used a sprinkle of dried herbs in a pinch, and it worked well. Adjust the lime to your liking; I sometimes go for an extra squeeze if I'm in the mood for more zing.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to let the dip sit for about 15 minutes after mixing; the flavors mingle beautifully.
- •If you want extra creaminess, add a scoop of vegan yogurt—it’s a game-changer.
- •For a fun twist, I sometimes mix in a drizzle of tahini which adds a nutty undertone.
Recipe Variations
- •When I'm feeling fancy, I toss in some toasted pumpkin seeds for a lovely crunch.
- •My friend Anna always adds a garlic clove to hers; it gives a nice little kick!
