- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- Juice of one lime
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Avocado and Yogurt: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the 2 ripe avocados and ½ cup of plain fat-free Greek yogurt. Mash them together using a fork or potato masher until the mixture reaches your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.

Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeño.

- This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; pressing plastic wrap directly on the surface helps prevent browning.
- Substitute cilantro with parsley if you prefer a milder herb taste.
