Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe medium avocados (diced)
- 4 oz (113 g) feta cheese
- 3 medium Roma tomatoes (seeded and diced)
- ⅓ cup red onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup parsley (or cilantro, chopped)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- ½ tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Ingredient Preparation: Carefully evaluate avocados for perfect ripeness, ensuring a creamy yet structured texture. Cube feta cheese into precise, uniform pieces and finely dice tomatoes and red onion for balanced flavor distribution.
- Aromatic Enhancement: Mince garlic and chop parsley or cilantro to release their intense flavor profiles, creating a vibrant sensory experience.
- Mixing Technique: In a medium mixing bowl, combine avocado, feta, tomatoes, red onion, garlic, and herbs with a gentle folding motion to preserve the delicate avocado structure and prevent over-mixing.
- Flavor Layering: Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and vinegar across the mixture, allowing the ingredients to meld together. Season with salt, calibrating the taste to personal preference.
- Presentation: Transfer the harmonious dip to a serving dish, creating an inviting appetizer that pairs beautifully with crisp crackers, tortilla chips, or warm flatbread.
Notes
- Ripen Avocado Wisely: Select avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure, ensuring creamy texture without bruising.
- Prep Ingredients Uniformly: Dice feta, tomatoes, and onions into consistent small pieces for balanced flavor and elegant presentation.
- Protect Avocado Integrity: Fold ingredients gently to prevent mashing, maintaining the dip’s fresh, chunky character.
- Enhance Flavor Depth: Allow mixture to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving, letting herbs and seasonings meld together beautifully.
