Scared of spice? Feel free to use bell pepper in place of the jalapeño.
Need the heat? Add as much jalapeño as your heart desires!
Dips by nature are incredibly flexible so feel free to add more garlic, lime, salt… basically anything you feel like kicking up a notch. I’d suggest making it as written, test it out with a few tortilla chip or cuke slices, and then add anything else you’re craving more of.
The above measurements made my taste buds ridiculously happy and I love how freakishly fast this dip comes together.
:: pin it for later ::
so… how was it?!
This healthy veggie dip is crazy amazing! This is the kind of dip you wind up going back for “just one more bite” so many times that you finally cave and hover over the bowl like it’s your sole duty to protect it from double dippers.
If you’re feeling extra spring-y, add this tasty tortellini salad to this week’s menu too!

I love dips and this looks so good. I am looking forward to making it for Easter. Thanks for the recipe.
Linda
I love this dip! It looks beautifully creamy, which I’m sure the avocado has a lot to do with, and it’s got garlic and jalapeno to give it that added boost to flavor. I am definitely going to be making this for my next get-together and, since my daughter is gluten-free, it’s perfect to make for our family too. All I can say is yum!
Mimi
This sounds wonderful! And thank you for not putting tahini in this dip!
Jenn
Thank you Mimi! Hope you get a chance to try it 🙂
Shannon
Looks yum! How long does it last in the fridge for?
Jenn
About 4 days I believe!
Mary @ Fit and Fed
Easy, healthy, what more could you want? Well, I could have wanted the Seahawks to go to the Superbowl so I could have served this at home at a Superbowl party!

I have made this several times. I punch it up with extra pepper. Absolutely incredible, people at work go apeshit over this stuff. All of you who are commenting that you have to try it, just do it. Think jalapeño-cilantro hummus without the grainy texture…super creamy
Jenn
You’re the best Ken; thanks for the rave review! Extra pepper is always welcome here! 🙂
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes
Looks so good! I love avocados. Stumbled!
Jenn @ Peas and Crayons
So happy to hear it! Ohmygosh and LOL about the jalapenos; I seem to always pick the spiciest one in the bunch! I bet habanero would give it a nice jump too!
DudeThatCooks
Just made it…OUTSTANDING!! It’s funny, I must have grabbed the mildest jalapenos in the world, so had to doctor it up with cayenne pepper to get some of the *kick* I was wanting. What’s crazy is, I’m sure it will taste even BETTER tomorrow after the flavors have an opportunity to get to know each other in the fridge overnight! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
