Savory Avocado-Yogurt Dip

This is a recipe I used for today's Easter celebration. B is requesting that I NOT LOSE this recipe and that I make it often... so I figured it would be worth sharing (and I won't lose it if it's blogged!). Think guacamole with a twist. I love this for the fresh, green ingredients and I love tossing everything in the food processor- so easy! The original recipe is from Cooking Light magazine. Enjoy!

Savory Avocado-Yogurt Dip

3/4 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup chopped red onion
3 Tbl. chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbl. finely chopped, seeded jalapeno pepper
2 Tbl. fresh lime juice
1 Tbl. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
3 ripe, peeled, seeded avocados
1 garlic clove

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.

You can prepare this up to 8 hours in advance and refrigerate in an airtight container (with an avocado seed to diminish browning). This creamy dip is great with pita chips and veggie sticks.
