“Avocado Cream Cheese Dip”

Game day action is coming up soon and I’m in a savory mood. I bet you’re still thinking about what to serve. Tasty dips are always perfect, and this Avocado Cream Cheese Dip is another super easy recipe.

You’re best to add this dip to your menu and have plenty on hand. I recommend serving with Simply Naked Pita Chips. The flavor explosion is worthy of all dip lovers. Finger foods and easy to serve foods matter so you’re not slaving all night. This dip totally fits the bill.

Avocado Cream Cheese Dip

Fresh creamy avocado, chive and onion flavored cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, fresh chives, garlic powder, white pepper, salt, and Penzeys Mural of Flavor. Never seen or used Mural of Flavor, run to your nearest store location or order online. Shipping is fast and sign-up to receive notifications of specials and recipes. They don’t overly share emails which I like.

Mural of Flavor is a salt-free seasoning blend of several herbs that work beautifully together. Wonderful on chicken and pork and even roasted vegetables. The salt-free blend is a combination of spices, shallots, onion, garlic, lemon and orange peel. and chives. The mixture resembles crushed oregano and start with 1/4 teaspoon first when making dips otherwise, use more generously on meat and vegetables. Get ready for a new favorite seasoning to have on hand. Great for grilling.

Make this chilled dip ahead of time for flavors to meld. The dip tastes even best after chilling at least a few hours. You may want to adjust seasoning at this point if needed. Otherwise making this creamy is a no-brainer when you need an appetizer quickly.

Start by prepping all your ingredients and then smash avocado and lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl with a fork. As you combine the mixture, it will become smoother and smoother. Add in your remaining ingredients and adjust seasoning if needed. If you have 15 – 20 minutes, you have time to make this dip minus the prep which is about 15 minutes.

I recommend serving this tangy, creamy dip with Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips with little or no salt. You can find these chips in the snack aisle of your market. The flavor explosion and combination is so earthy and fresh plus pita chips have the perfect crunch. Avocados are such an easy fruit to work with and works marvelously in this speedy appetizer.
