Avocado-Mint Dip image

This luscious dip has a velvety smooth texture and a fresh herbal bite. You can substitute any other herbs for the mint; cilantro makes it somewhat guacamole-like, while chives add their allium sweetness, and basil is sharp and bright. Serve with crudités or heap on toasted bread to make crostini.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups diced peeled avocados (about 4 medium)
3 1/4 cups chilled buttermilk
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon minced seeded serrano chile
1 teaspoon chili powder
6 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves, divided
3 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth
1 cup diced seeded tomatoes

Steps:

  • Combine first 7 ingredients in processor. Add 4 tablespoons mint; blend until smooth. Transfer to large bowl. Gradually whisk in 3 cups broth. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. Cover; chill until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep chilled. Thin with more broth by 1/4 cupfuls, if desired. Rewhisk before serving.)

Tips for Making the Best Avocado Mint Dip:

  • Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamy and have a rich flavor, making them ideal for dips. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently press on the skin. It should give slightly to the touch.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeño pepper to the dip.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint adds a bright, refreshing flavor to the dip. If you don't have fresh mint on hand, you can use dried mint, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't over-process the dip: Over-processing the dip will make it lose its creamy texture. Pulse the ingredients in a blender or food processor until they are just combined.
  • Serve the dip immediately: Avocado dip is best served immediately after it is made. It will start to brown after a few hours, so if you're making it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator and bring it out to serve just before your guests arrive.

Conclusion:

Avocado mint dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy, creamy, or refreshing, there is an avocado mint dip recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give avocado mint dip a try.
