Substitutions and Variations
Garlic: Fresh garlic or garlic powder adds a strong aroma and flavour to the dip.
Fresh herbs
Parsley: Brightens the flavour of the dip. It has a mild earthy aroma. Parsley is the best choice if you don’t like the strong flavour of coriander leaves.
Mint: The refreshing flavour of mint blends well with the vibrant avocado.
Lemon/lime: Lime juice adds a refreshing flavour and a tang to the dip.
Full fat yogurt or low-fat yogurt
It doesn’t matter whether you use store-bought yogurt or homemade as long as it is thick that yields creamy and thick avocado dip. Do not use low-fat yogurt or thin yogurt as it will ruin the consistency of the dip.
However, low-fat or zero-fat greek yogurt is naturally thick and is perfect to use in this recipe.

Tips and Tricks

Greek yogurt yields a thick and creamy dip. However, if you struggle to find it in local grocery stores then use thick natural yogurt.
Lemon juice adds a tang to the yogurt dip and enhances the flavour so try not to skip it.
Store the dip in the fridge until ready to serve.
Use well-ripe avocados for the best taste.
FAQ

1. Brush the avocado half with olive oil.
2. Squeeze lemon juice on top of cut avocados.
