This creamy avocado dip is a delightful twist on the classic guacamole, combining smooth textures and vibrant flavors.
Ensure the avocados are ripe by gently pressing them; they should yield slightly.
Ripe avocados are key to achieving a creamy texture.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
Use a spoon to easily scoop out the avocado flesh.
Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and salsa to the bowl with the avocados.
Adjust the amount of salsa based on your spice preference.
Mash the mixture with a potato masher until smooth, then whip lightly with a fork.
For a chunkier texture, mash less thoroughly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well.
Taste as you season to ensure the perfect balance.
Serve the dip with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or chopped cilantro for added flair.
