Notes/Tips:

  • To keep the avocado from browning, put the avocado seeds in the dip. Cover with an airtight lid and keep refrigerated.

  • Crumbling and mashing the feta in helps making it creamy and marinate the flavor better.

  • Don’t skip the fresh herbs! Trust me.

  • I like to add white/yellow onions because its not as strong as red onions and adds a hint of sweetness.

  • Make this dip fresh, ideally right before you serve!
