Creamy Avocado Yogurt Dip

So I've only recently discovered avocados, they were always one of those things where the texture freaked me out more than the taste.  I tried guacamole the other week and really liked it.  I think because the texture was nice and creamy.  This dip appealed to me because you blend it with yogurt so the texture shouldn't be an issue for me.  And, I was right!  It's nice and light and yummy.  I let it cool and firm up in the fridge before digging in.


Ingredients:

1/2 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt (I use Chobani)
2 ripe avocados, peeled and seeded
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped seeded jalapeño pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Pita chips, tortilla chips, cut up veggies-for serving

Directions:

1. Place the yogurt, avocados, garlic, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and cumin in a blender or food processor. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
2. Scrape dip into a serving bowl and serve with pita chips, tortilla chips, or cut up veggies.
