Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 2 ripe, fresh avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
  • 1/3 cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 green onion
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 oz. crumbled goat cheese
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. balsamic glaze
  • Fresh thyme (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocado Mixture: Add the avocados, Greek yogurt, garlic, green onion, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt to a food processor. Puree the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all flavors are well blended.
  2. Assemble the Dip: Spread the creamy avocado mixture evenly onto a serving board or dish to create an attractive base for the toppings.
  3. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the pomegranate arils, chopped walnuts, and crumbled goat cheese evenly over the dip. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy finish.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for an herbaceous touch. Serve the dip alongside crostini, crackers, pretzels, and fresh cut vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm avocados for the best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure the Greek yogurt is plain and unsweetened to maintain the dip’s balance of flavors.
  • The dip is best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours; cover tightly to prevent browning.
  • For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the walnuts before adding them as a topping.
  • Adjust lemon juice and salt to taste for the perfect tanginess and seasoning.
