4 ripe avocados
1 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 cup Plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. of Sriracha (if you want it spicy)
Directions
1. Scoop the avocados out of their skins and place in a food processor.
2. Add the cilantro, Greek yogurt, lime juice, jalapeno, salt, pepper and other spices, then blend until smooth.
You may serve with vegetables, such as, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and jicama.
I really like Snappea Crips – they’re delicious with hummus, too.
