Notes
The Avocado Dip will keep in the refrigerator for a few days because of the added lemon and lime juice.
If you find your dip too thick, add a little more water to thin it out when you’re blending it.
Are you on an oil-free diet? No problem! Try the dip without oil, the avocado itself contains a nice amount of good-for-you fats. Just replace the oil called for in the recipe with a little more water.
*Two small ones or one large one should suffice.
**Reserve onion greens to decorate dip. Chop then sprinkle over top of the serving bowl.
***Start with 1/4 teaspoon and taste after you blend. Add more if needed, up to 1/2 teaspoon total.
