Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.75 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 small jalapeño seeds removed (leave in for extra heat)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium Haas avocado peeled, pitted
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp chopped scallion
- 1 lime juice juice of 1 lime
- 0.125 tsp ground cumin
- 0.25 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
- For a thinner consistency, add more buttermilk. For a thicker dip, use less buttermilk or serve as-is.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir well before using. If the dip thickens too much, mix in a tablespoon or two of buttermilk to reach desired consistency. This dip also works great as a sandwich spread, taco sauce, or salad dressing!
