Ingredients you’ll need to make avocado feta cheese dip

• Avocados: Be sure to choose avocados that are firm but have a slight give when you press them. Be wary of solid avocados or ones that feel smushy, as they are probably overripe.
• Feta: If you can, look for Feta made in Greece. That’s the real thing and will add the best flavor to your avocado and feta dip.
• Garlic: When buying fresh garlic, make sure it isn’t sprouting and that it feels firm. If it feels hollow, it’s not fresh.
• Olive oil: You could also use vegetable oil or sunflower oil.
• Cilantro: If you’re not a cilantro lover, substitute for parsley and cumin.
• Lime juice: Lime juice gives your avocado feta cheese dip a zesty flavor, and as a bonus, it keeps the avocado from turning brown. Lemon juice also works well, although the flavor isn’t quite the same.
• Jalapeno (seeded): If you want to add a little extra heat but don’t want to use Jalapeno, Serrano peppers work well. Equally, feel free to leave the seeds in if you want an extra kick!

How to make avocado dip?

Begin by roughly chopping your ingredients and removing the skin and seeds. Then, blend them all into the food processor until creamy and smooth.

Scoop the avocado feta cheese, dip it into a bowl, and serve it with toasted pitta and crunchy veggies.

Recipe tips

• If you’re having trouble blending, add a small amount of water to loosen the mixture.
• To prepare the avocado, cut it in half lengthwise around the pit. Then, open it out and use a spoon to remove it. Using a sharp knife, cut the flesh into chunks (without cutting through the skin) and scoop them out with a spoon.
• To deseed the jalapeno, first put on a pair of gloves. This will stop the seeds from burning. Then slice the pepper in half lengthwise, and use a spoon or knife to remove the seeds and membrane from the inside.

How to keep the avocado dip from turning brown

Avocado turns brown quickly, so don’t cut it up until you’re ready to serve. Once you’ve made the avocado dip with feta cheese, you can keep it fresher for longer by squeezing lemon over it.

When storing, be sure to cover it with cling film and put the avocado pit in the bowl with the dip.

Can you freeze avocado dip?

You can freeze avocado dip and keep it in the freezer for up to a month. 

Be sure to store it in an airtight container and move it to the freezer within two hours of serving.

This avocado feta dip recipe freezes well because it’s smooth and creamy. Chunkier dips don’t freeze so well because the vegetable chunks might become watery when defrosted.
