I love dip. So easy to throw together, and a good way to blend flavours. The heat can be easily turned up or down to your taste. You can also focus on one or two interesting ingredients. What's not to like? Well, they can kind of taste similar if you're not careful and they all look like a pile of mush. Mounding it up in a decorative bowl helps, and garnishes like parsley, olive oil, and those ubiquitous rustic triangle crisps can distract your attention.

Avocado, cilantro, and feta dip. I forgot to take a picture, so
I borrowed this one - it turned out pretty much the same. |
In this case, avocado is the star ingredient. It has a healthy and tasty reputation, and is kind of fun to prepare. Who doesn't like thumping a knife into the pit to remove it? Lately cilantro leaves have enjoyed immense popularity in our house - so fresh tasting, almost delicate. As far as I'm concerned, you can't go terribly wrong with feta in almost any application either. This dip also has some diced hot peppers, although just enough to knock on the door to let you know they're there.
Next Time: may try something other than cilantro, or turn it into a fiery avocado dip
