OK, you caught me, I do not grow avocado’s, nor are they local.  But the vegetables I am dipping in this are ALL from my garden and…it is too yummy not to share.

I actually made this as a topping for bean burgers, but as I nibbled as I cooked, I realized it is a great dip for vegetables (and pretzels).

This is wonderful with perfectly ripe avocados, but also very forgiving for avocados that are just a little too soft.

Avocado Yogurt Dip/Sauce

1 avocado, meat removed from skin.

2/3 cup plain yogurt

1 pinch Salt

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Mash the avocado.  Stir in the yogurt until well blended and fairly smooth, it will still be a little lumpy.  Add the salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with cut up vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers

Makes a little over one cup of dip.
