Avocado Cream Dip
This was actually an accidental recipe. I was formulating an avocado based pasta sauce and in my creation process I ended up with this nice, thick, dip like consistency. I tried it on some veggies with and Wow! I knew this was going to be a new must have on our weekly meal plan.
“So many reasons to love Avocado, right? The amazing health benefits are top of the list, but the versatility and texture it offers recipes is so unique”.

As you can see in the ingredients I used another base recipe to create this one. You can find the Cashew Cream recipe over here. If you are unable to make the cashew cream you can double the avocado or use something in its place with a thick cream like consistency.

Sarah’s Tips
If you aren’t in love with a lemony flavor you can reduce how much lemon juice you use and add additional salt and pepper, however lemon is a helpful preservative and will keep the avocado from browning
Once you have put this dip together you can use it as a base for dressing or a pasta sauce
