I have a confession. Before Andrew and I met, I had never tried an avocado by itself before. I’d had guacamole, but that’s it. I didn’t realize the avocados potential. Luckily, he came into my life and saved me from that atrocity. Since he’s Jamaican, avocados were a staple in his house growing up.
Funny fact: One day his mom asked me hand her a pear. I looked all over the kitchen for it. By the time I gave up, I realized that everyone was laughing at me. Jamaicans called avocados pears or avocado pear, so she was looking for an avocado but that’s what she calls it. I’ve never made that mistake again.
I’ll admit I wasn’t a huge fan at first. It doesn’t have a ton of flavor. I could never figure out when the perfect time to cut it open was (it was alwayssss over ripe). But then….then, I starting getting more adventurous in the kitchen and the avocado became a go-to game changer. Any time we are having tacos or other spicy dishes, I have to have avocado on the side. I learned that it’s delicious in making a smoothie insanely creamy, and I’ve learned how to maximize it’s full flavor potential.
What’s the difference between guacamole and avocado dip?
Great question! I’m sure you’re wondering. Guacamole traditionally has diced tomatoes, chopped onions, jalapenos, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and cayenne pepper. Avocado dip is very similar but there’s is no diced tomatoes or onions. It’s still just as amazing, but if you are a fan of tomatoes this could be the perfect alternative for you.
What do you use avocado dip for?
This avocado dip recipe can be used in chips but also as an avocado spread on toast or bagels. Alternatively, you could use this as an avocado sauce for fish tacos or as an avocado dip for quesadillas. We also loving using it as an avocado spread for our black bean burgers!
