Savory Herbed Avocado dip

By Chelsea Lords of Chelsea’s Messy Apron

This delicious herbed avocado dip is one of the quickest dips you'll make thanks to the Blendtec! All of the ingredients get thrown into the jar together and then blended. Easy as that!! To enjoy this dip: pretty much any vegetable you can think about will taste great in it. Our favorites are carrots, cucumber, celery, sweet bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes. This dip also doubles as a delicious sandwich spread or a tasty way to top your toast for an afternoon snack.

For a fun recipe variation: top a piece of toast with this herbed avocado dip, a sliced roma tomato, and some red pepper flakes for a little kick of heat! As always, feel free to adjust the herbs to your personal preference by reducing flavors you enjoy less or adding more of what you love! Enjoy!
