You know that feeling when you cut into an avocado only to find it is bruised and has a few brown spots? I actually get excited because I know it means I am going to make this dip! With avocados, tons of herbs, garlic and citrus - this dip feels like a treat every time I make it. But, do you want to know the secret ingredient?

My homemade everything bagel seasoning with Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt! The Kosher salt won’t dissolve quickly in the dip, leaving every bite to be the perfect combination of savory, creamy and salty dip-liciousness!

Food Waste Tip:
Have some bruising on your avocados? No need to get rid of them. Puree them into a dip where no one will ever be able to tell they had few brown spots and you still get a ton of great flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe (or slightly overripe) avocados, peeled and pitted
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • ½ bunch parsley, roughly 1 cup
  • 3 sprigs dill, leaves and stems
  • 1 sprig tarragon, leaves and stems
  • 10 chives
  • ½ lemon, zest and juice
  • 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, plus more for garnish
