I might be tempted to call this my “Accidental” Avocado Sauce, because when I got up this morning at 3:30a, I discovered two really, really ripe avocados on the counter. I calculated they had about 24 hours of life left, so I needed to make something. I thought about constructing some guac, but then remembered someone using Greek yogurt, and thought… What could go wrong? (that is a rhetorical question). It was pretty good, until drizzling with the hot sauce, and that just took it over the dang top. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make dip essentials: super creamy avocado sauce

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

This is the kind of dip that you want to make within an hour or so of using. A good trick to keeping it fresh is to take a piece of cling wrap and press onto the surface of the dip. That will separate it from the air and prevent it from turning brown.
Step 3

Never baked garlic before? Here is a recipe for you: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/cooking-essentials-baked-garlic.html?r=4
Step 4

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 5

Place the baked garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle with a bit of salt.
Step 6

Use the flat side of a kitchen knife to smash it up.
Step 7

Place all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl (except the hot sauce).
Step 8

Mix together with a fork until nice and smooth, or you could use a blender.
Step 9

Before serving, do a final tasting for proper seasoning.
Step 10

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 11

Splash some hot sauce on top, and serve as a dip, a side for chicken fajitas, or a topping for baked potatoes. It goes really well with these sous vide shrimp (pictured). Enjoy.
Step 12

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
