Avocado Dipping Sauce

1 medium ripe Hass avocado

Juice of 1 lime

1 clove garlic, peeled

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

ВЅ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Вј teaspoon salt

2 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, as desired

  1. Halve the avocado, and remove the pit and peel.
  2. Place the avocado halves and the rest of the ingredients in a food processor or mini-blender and pulse until smooth and creamy.
  3. If you want this to have a thinner consistency, stir in the olive oil to thin it out so that it is more like a dressing than a dipping sauce.
  4. Serve as a spread, dip or dressing.

VARIATIONS: Other flavor considerations include chipotles, balsamic vinegar or rosemary. Be creative!
