BASIL AVOCADO DIP



Basil Avocado Dip image

This unexpected dip is a terrific way to use ripe avocados when guacamole isn't an option. It's mild, creamy, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. The only downside is that it only keeps for about day in the fridge, so plan on making it the night before packing it into someone's lunchbox if that's its destination. Serve it with pita or tortilla chips, breadsticks and cucumber slices, and double the recipe if you're feeding a crowd.

LAYERED AVOCADO BEAN DIP



Layered Avocado Bean Dip image

I grew up in Northern California, and I miss the flavors from home all the time. I made up this dip to combine some of my favorite things like avocados, artichokes, and almonds and it's a big favorite at parties! Sourdough bread is another California favorite for serving, but it works really well with pita chips or even just normal tortilla chips, too. —Elisabeth Larsen, Pleasant Grove, Utah
