avocado-cumin yogurt dip

An odd conodrum for January: an avocado nearing its demise and leftover cilantro from dal with curried tarka. First thoughts were a salad but after spotting some greek yogurt in the fridge I was reminded of a dip my friend Mary Beth made years ago. So a dip was made, no food was wasted and I had a taste of warm weather in the middle of winter. Life is good.

Avocado-Cumin Yogurt Dip

1 avocado, mashed
1 cup greek yogurt
1 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp cumin
1 tsp salt
dash of hot sauce

Combine all ingredients. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips. (Does not keep very well so eat up!)

Love the dish too!!
