Note

This dip can be served immediately or chilled for up to 2 hours. For longer storage, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The avocado may darken slightly; a thin layer of lemon juice on top can help preserve color.

For a vegan version, ensure you use honey substitute or skip the sweetener. If the dip is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or plant milk to reach your desired consistency.

You can substitute sunflower seed butter for tahini or peanut butter for a nut-free option.

This dip pairs well with crudité platters, pita chips, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
