Ingredients
Avocado Spread Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 3 tablespoons tahini (can substitute with Greek yogurt)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ clove garlic, grated
- ½ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.
- Add ingredients: Add the tahini, lemon juice, grated garlic, salt, and black pepper to the blender with the avocado.
- Blend the mixture: Blend until smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides to ensure even mixing.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the spread and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
- Serve: Transfer the avocado spread to a bowl. Optionally, drizzle with good olive oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and garnish with cilantro before serving as a dip or spread.
Notes
- You can substitute tahini with Greek yogurt for a different flavor and creaminess.
- Adjust garlic and lemon juice amounts to suit your taste preferences.
- This spread is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the surface to prevent browning.
- Great as a dip for vegetables, spread for sandwiches, or as a topping for grilled meats or toast.
- For a smoother texture, peel the avocado carefully without the skin before blending.
