  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt*
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1/3 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped basil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
  • Broccoli, snow peas, asparagus, and/or tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the avocados, Greek yogurt, lime juice, lemon juice, red onion, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mash with a fork until you reach your desired consistency.
  2. Step 2: Add the cilantro, basil, chives, and tarragon, then stir to combine. Taste and season with the additional salt if needed. Serve immediately with vegetables or tortilla chips.

Tips & Variations

  • For a smoother texture, use a food processor instead of mashing by hand.
  • Swap out the herbs for what you have on hand—parsley or mint can add a nice twist.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess or omit it for a dairy-free version.
  • Add a diced jalapeño for a hint of spicy heat.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Keep refrigerated and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness. Stir well before serving and add a squeeze of lime juice to refresh.

How to Serve

In the background, a white marbled surface holds a white plate with vibrant green broccoli and asparagus spears, blurred softly to keep focus on the guacamole.
