Ingredients
As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients needed for this dish. For the complete, printable recipe, scroll to the recipe card below.
- Avocados: You will need three large, ripe avocados. If yours are on the small side, use 4-5 for this dip!
- Red Onion: Don’t worry—it’s not overpowering! In a pinch, you can add chopped green onions or shallots instead.
- Fresh Basil: skip the cilantro; you won’t be sorry!
- Lime: This recipe requires fresh lime juice, and if you enjoy a citrus taste, you can add a bit of lime zest!
- Feta: Crumbled feta cheese. The recipe requires 1/2 cup, but cheese is like garlic and butter…you should measure it with your heart.
- Olive oil, salt, and pepper: just a few basic ingredients elevate this dish to the next level!
How to Make Avocado Dip
This is so incredibly simple; it is barely a recipe! All you need is a bowl and a spoon – Just follow these two simple steps.
- Add the diced avocado, red onion, basil, lime juice, feta, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Gently combine the ingredients with a spoon and serve immediately. If you prefer a smoother texture, mash a bit more. If you enjoy a chunkier texture, mash less.
Serve
- Veggie Tray: serve alongside fresh vegetable slices like cucumbers, bell peppers, sliced radishes,
- Chips and Crackers: great with tortilla chips and salty crackers.
- Tacos: excellent on these baked chicken tacos or this Jalapeño Lime Chicken.
- Protein: serve alongside air fryer salmon, chicken or over Cajun Chicken Thighs.
Storage
As with all avocado recipes, time (and oxygen) is the enemy. This dish is best served fresh, and I highly recommend making it minutes before serving. If you have leftovers, you can expect the avocado to turn brown. There are a few things you can do to mitigate this.
- Vacuum: Store in a vacuum seal container like this one.
- Water: I know it sounds weird, but water works with avocados. Put the dip in a container that fits it well, cover the top with cold water, seal, and store. When ready to serve, drain the water and blot the top with a paper towel.
- Keep the peel: I don’t think this works as well, but it does help some. Save your peels, press them on the top of the dip, and store them in an airtight container.
Tips
- Use avocados that are ripe, but not too soft; they will hold their shape better.
- If you can only find ripe avocados that are a bit too soft, you can mash them and then fold in the remaining ingredients. The texture will be more similar to guacamole.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. I don’t provide that measurement because feta can be quite salty on its own.
