Avocado Dip


I ran across this cool dip over at The Jey of Cooking.  Nice and healthy with a great mix of flavors.  The only thing missing was some jalapeno peppers for a little heat chaser....I'll add them in next time.  I swapped out kiwi for the mango in the original recipe...I already had mango in another dip for the same gathering.


Avocado Dip

2 avocados
1 apple, diced (Pink Lady)
2 kiwi, diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1 tbls diced garlic
2 tbls lime juice
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
salt, to taste

Mash avocados with a fork before transferring to a bowl.  Mix in remaining ingredients, combining well.  Serve with chips.

    During the winter I was making it with pomegranate and pear. I love the summer edition! Perfect going into the weekend.

    This is interesting!! I have never thought of pairing avocado with other fruits. But I will eat avocado with ANYthing - so why not? Looks great!

    Avacados are just coming into season here. Love their buttery flavour and this dip looks like just the thing for snacking with chips.

    Yum yum, I've had something similar at a restaurant except there was mango in the mix as well, served with polenta. Definitely going to try this out!

    Oh I adore the mix of flavor in here, must really have a great fruity kick that is just properly mellowed out by the creamy avocado. Totally a party dip.
