This Avocado Cream Spread is the ultimate combination of smooth, tangy, and nourishing. Made with ripe avocados, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, and a touch of garlic, it’s whipped to a silky texture that makes it a superstar in the kitchen. Whether you’re slathering it on toast, spooning it onto grilled meats, or serving it alongside crunchy vegetables, this spread brings freshness and depth to any dish.
It’s naturally packed with healthy fats, and thanks to the yogurt, it’s also rich in protein and probiotics. The hint of citrus prevents browning and brightens the flavor, while the garlic adds that savory punch we all crave. You can use this spread as a dip, dressing, sauce, or even as a base for other fusion creations. And the best part? It comes together in minutes—just blend and serve.
🧺 INGREDIENTS:
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt (or substitute with sour cream or coconut yogurt for a twist)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: pinch of chili flakes or cumin for warmth
- Optional garnish: chopped cilantro, chives, or microgreens
📝 INSTRUCTIONS:
- Select the Avocados Choose avocados that yield slightly to pressure—they should be ripe but not mushy. Cut them in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
- Combine the Ingredients Place avocado flesh into a blender or food processor. Add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. If you want to spice things up, this is the time to toss in chili flakes or cumin.
- Blend Until Smooth Pulse the mixture for 30–60 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed. You’re aiming for a creamy texture without lumps. Add 1–2 tablespoons of water or more lemon juice if it’s too thick.
- Taste and Adjust Give it a taste and adjust seasoning. You can add more lemon juice for extra brightness or a touch more garlic for a bolder profile.
- Serve and Garnish Transfer to a serving bowl or jar. Top with fresh herbs like chives, cilantro, or microgreens for a pop of color and freshness.
- Chill or Serve Immediately You can serve right away, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. It holds well for 1–2 days when stored in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent browning.
