Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 3 tablespoons tahini (or substitute Greek yogurt)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ clove garlic, grated
- ½ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados: Cut 2 large ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add 3 tablespoons of tahini, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, ½ clove of grated garlic, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of black pepper to the blender with the avocado.
- Blend the mixture: Blend the ingredients until smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending and a creamy texture.
- Adjust seasonings and serve: Taste the spread and add more salt or lemon juice if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and optionally drizzle with good olive oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and garnish with cilantro before serving as a dip or spread.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, substitute tahini with Greek yogurt.
- This spread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; to prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface.
- Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor.
- Add a dash of cayenne or smoked paprika for a spicy twist.
- Perfect accompaniment to pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
