Avocado Yogurt Dip Recipe| Easy Dip Recipes

I ve been a terrific fan of avocado right from the beginning. Why I love Avocado in a yogurt dip is another story which i ll share some other time. But the. Dont ask me why i love avocado either. Lets just say that chunky things fancy me. I was first introduced to this gorgeous buttery fruit in Bangalore by a dear friend in the form of thick creamy milkshake. I got over my initial apprehensions about the pastel green in the tall glass, i took a sip and i knew i had discovered my nirvana milkshake. My order for a milkshake has always been the same ever since then. With the exception of a Vanilla milkshake, no one can convince me into any other flavor.
Its only after i began blogging that i knew an avocado can be used for many more things other than a milkshake. My first tryst with this nutrient loaded goodness was in the form of some guacomole. And then there was no looking back. Until i decided the other day to use it in a dip. And should i even mention how the dip bowl was licked clean!
