Avocado dip goes well with tortilla chips, crackers, raw vegetables, and toasted bread. You can also serve it alongside tacos or grilled food, or spoon it over baked potatoes for a creamy, tangy topping.

Add lime or lemon juice and limit the dip’s contact with air. Press plastic wrap directly onto its surface, then seal the container and refrigerate it. A little browning on top can be scraped away if the dip otherwise looks and smells fresh.
