Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled

1 fresh jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped (adjust based on your heat preference)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or substitute with sour cream for a different flavor)

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (approximately the juice of 2 limes)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional: Extra cilantro or slices of jalapeño for garnish

Instructions
 

Mash the Avocados: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, place the ripe avocados. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocados until smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.

    Incorporate the Jalapeño: Add the finely chopped jalapeño to the mashed avocado. Mix thoroughly. If you prefer a milder taste, feel free to use only half of the jalapeño or ensure all seeds are removed.

      Create a Creamy Base: Incorporate the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) into the avocado mixture. Stir gently until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

        Enhance the Flavor: Squeeze in the freshly squeezed lime juice. Then, add the chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and ground cumin. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

          Season to Taste: Sample the dip and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. You can also adjust the lime juice and jalapeño quantities based on how tangy or spicy you want the dip.

            Chill for Flavor Harmony: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to develop and meld together beautifully.

              Final Touches Before Serving: Just before serving, give the dip a final taste check. Transfer it to a serving bowl, and if you like, garnish with additional chopped cilantro or slices of jalapeño for an appealing presentation.

                Serving Suggestions: Pair this delicious dip with crispy tortilla chips, crunchy veggie sticks, or freshly baked pita bread for a delightful appetizer!
