1 large avocados peeled and pitted
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (use more for a dipping consistency)
salt and black pepper to taste

To the bowl of a food processor or high speed blender, add all ingredients.
Pulse to partially chop the avocado, then puree until mixture is creamy and well combined.
For a creamy, guacamole-type dip, add more sour cream or yogurt and process again to your desired consistency.
Use immediately, or transfer to a small Weck jar with a lid. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Avocado spread will keep for 1 day in the refrigerator before it begins to oxidize and turn brown.

If your avocado is ripe, but you’re not quite ready to use it, put it in the fridge to help it last a little longer. And if you’re getting impatient to make a recipe using avocados, but they’re not quite ripe, store them at room temperature to help them ripen faster.

Recipe Variations:

Spicy kick: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Creamy twist: Blend in a spoonful of tahini or plain Greek yogurt for added richness.
Herb-infused: Stir in chopped fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or dill.
Earthy flavor: A pinch of cumin adds warmth and depth to the spread.

Storing Instructions:

This spread will start to brown after one day in the fridge – that’s just the nature of oxidation!
To help prevent discoloration and oxidation, add a layer of plastic wrap right over the top of your leftovers so that it covers the entire mixture, then store it in an airtight container.
It’ll keep for about 3 days in the fridge, or for a month in the freezer.
