AVOCADO AND TAHINI DIP

I attended a cooking demonstration by Lisa Brink of Hod Hasharon. Lisa has her own cooking blog, www.deliciouskitchen.weebly.com, and has some wonderful ideas about cooking and presentation. This recipe comes from her Take Five class, recipes which contain five main ingredients and take five minites to prepare. What makes this dip stand out from all the rest is the addition of mint. At first it sounded weird to me, but upon tasting, wow, yum!

Tips:

For the smoothest dip, use ripe avocados. Ripe avocados are soft to the touch and have a dark green color.
If you don't have tahini on hand, you can substitute another nut or seed butter, such as almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
To make a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
For a more tangy dip, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt.
Garnish the dip with chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve the dip with pita chips, vegetable crudités, or crackers.
