Avocado dip is a refined European dish that combines the tenderness of ripe avocado, the freshness of tomatoes, and the spiciness of chives. This dip has a velvety texture and a pleasant creamy taste complemented by a slight tang from lemon juice. Initially, avocado recipes were popular in Mediterranean and Latin American cuisines but over time they found their place in Europe as well. It is best served with sliced fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, and bell peppers – making it an ideal light snack or elegant addition to an aperitif. The simplicity of preparation makes it indispensable for quick and tasty snacks that please the eye and delight the palate.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a large bowl. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice (no more is needed, lemon is used here to prevent the avocado from changing color). Mash the avocado flesh with a fork and mix it with sour cream.
