HELPFUL EQUIPMENT
Immersion blender – so much easier than trying to scrape the dip out of a blender. If you don’t have one, I highly recommend investing in one. It works well for this dip and for making homemade dressings.
Garlic press – easily mince garlic
Citrus zester – for adding lime zest

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Purchase all fresh healthy-looking produce. Especially the avocados. Even the garlic.
Peel and press the garlic—don’t use the jarred/prepared version.
Use a pure heavy cream without additives.
Add extra healthy benefits by using a high-quality plain yogurt with probiotics.
This avocado cream goes light on the salt. It tops salty meals well. For lightly salted meals, consider increasing the salt in the avocado dip to 1/3 teaspoon.

WHAT TO AVOID

Skip using the wilted cilantro or old lime from the back of the drawer.
Don’t use flavored yogurt
Don’t use yogurt without probiotics

STORAGE OPTIONS

Eat all of it. If you must store it, press plastic wrap down into the dish and up against the avocado cream to protect it from turning color as much as possible.
