This dip comes together in minutes, and it’s loaded with bold flavors and a super creamy texture that everyone loves.

Loaded with flavor, not with work, this avocado dip is just about the easiest and most delicious thing you’ll ever make. It starts with fresh, ripe avocados. Then, it’s mixed with jalapenos, cilantro, sour cream, Picante sauce, sour cream, cumin, green onions, and more and blended together with an immersion blender to create a rich, creamy dip that everyone loves. That’s all there is to it. Now, I ask you. Does it get any better than easy and delicious? No. No, it doesn’t.

How to Pick Perfectly Ripe Avocados

First look at the color. Generally speaking, green avocados aren’t ripe. Look for dark green to black avocados. That’s where you start, but the true test is the press. If the avocado yields to gentle, firm pressure, you know it’s ripe. A ripe avocado should feel slightly soft, but not mushy.

How to Cut an Avocado

Using a sharp knife, cut down the center of the avocado, letting the blade slide along the pit down and around to the other side. Give it a twist while pulling to create two halves. Then, remove the seed and cut the two halves in half again. From there, simply use a spoon to remove the flesh from the skin. From there, place the avocado pieces flat side down and cut or dice to your desired size.

Recipe FAQ

When are avocados in season?

While avocados are available year-round, the best time of year to buy them for maximum flavor is January through March.

How do you keep avocados from turning brown?

Submerge your cut avocado in cold water for up to 4 hours to keep it from turning brown. You can also add lemon juice to a bowl of cut avocado and give it a toss.

What’s the difference between avocado dip and guacamole?

Avocado dip is smooth and creamy like other dips. Guacamole is chunky and mashed, not pureed until smooth.

How to Store Leftover Avocado Dip

Place the avocado dip in an airtight container, then place a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the dip, smoothing to remove as many air bubbles as possible. Then close the lid tightly and refrigerate for 3 to 4 days.

    When I made Avocado dip or guacamole, I chop fine red onion, white sweet onion fine chop, fine chop tomato, fine chop mango, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice and sour cream. I don’t have recipe for this, just put in a bowl, chill and serve.
