I call this a dip for the sake of ease, but really this 'dip' can be anything you want it to be. I've also used this recipe as a pasta sauce, a sandwich spread, and a salad dressing. The question is, what don't I put this on? It's fast, it's versatile, and it's delicious - it's everything you want out of a recipe.
I don't think any description I could come up with would do it justice. The avocado mixed with the tahini makes it perfectly creamy while the lemon and garlic add a bit of sharpness. It's fresh and flavorful, and only requires a few ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 large, ripe avocado peeled and diced
- 1 small lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
- 1/4 cup (58 grams) tahini
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic (your preference)
- sea salt to taste
Method
- If you have a high powered blender, all you need to do is throw everything in the blender and blend until smooth, probably for about 30 seconds. If your blender isn't as strong, you may need to mince your garlic and basil first to make sure everything gets mixed thoroughly.
This makes about 1 1/2 cups and will keep in the refrigerator for about a week.
