There are so many great ways to serve & eat this Guacamole & Yogurt Dip !Here are 2 nice easy dips which can be used over the festive season. You could serve these with crisps/chips or as a healthier option with slices of raw vegetables such as carrots and cucumber. You could also use these as fillings for baked potatoes, or even as a topping for Nacho’s – the possibilities are endless !
I have an Avocado Pear tree in my garden & something I’ve learnt only since living in Tanzania, is how much dogs adore eating Avocado’s (or “Avo’s” as we call them here) ! In fact, I reckon that they must be quite nutritious and filling for dogs due to their oily content & I’m sure that many a starving stray African dog has kept itself alive by eating Avo’s which have fallen onto the ground (all my dogs go crazy for them during Avo season !)
The Tanzanian name for an Avocado is “Parachichi” pronounced “Parrer Chee Chee” - I think that it is a delightful name with a nice ring to it, don’t you agree ?!

Guacamole
1 ripe Avocado, mashed
1 ripe Tomato, chopped into small cubes
1 heaped tbsp Onion, finely grated
1 heaped tbsp fresh Coriander leaves, chopped
Juice of 1 fresh Lime
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Mix altogether & serve straight away.
Yogurt Dip (a healthier alternative to sour cream !)
250 ml tub of Plain Yogurt (the thick Greek variety works best)
Dried Garlic Flakes – to taste
Salt – to taste
Mix everything altogether & serve. This keeps (covered) for up to 2 days in the fridge. (I also sometimes add a few cumin seeds & some chopped fresh coriander leaves, & serve this dip as a cooling accompaniment to a hot curry or Tandoori chicken.)
