Have I got a dip for you! Since avocado is one of my favorite foods on the planet, I’m always looking for new ways to enjoy it. I was delighted to reinvent this simple recipe into an avocado lovers’ version. Plan to enjoy this avocado whip soon. It’s a lovely change of pace from a traditional guacamole and it’s sort of frosting-like … in the savory sense. Serve this fluffy delight as a dip with your favorite crisp veggies or tortilla chips. Savor its creaminess as a dreamy sandwich spread. Or dollop it onto Mexican cuisine. It’s pure joy!
