# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It's the kind of appetizer that makes guests stop and take photos before they even taste it—you'll be the host everyone remembers
  • The creamy, tangy green dip works with practically any dipper, so everyone finds something they love
  • It takes just 20 minutes but looks like you spent hours crafting Halloween magic
  • Completely vegetarian and naturally gluten-free if you choose your dippers wisely, so nobody feels left out
02 -
  • If your avocado is even slightly underripe, your dip will have a grainy texture that no amount of blending fixes. Test it by gently squeezing—it should feel like it's just giving way
  • That lime juice isn't optional flavor; it's insurance against browning. Without it, your beautiful green dip will turn an unappetizing brown within hours
  • If you make this more than 2 hours ahead, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip to prevent oxidation and browning
03 -
  • Freeze your food processor bowl for 10 minutes before blending if your kitchen is warm—it keeps the dip cold and smooth instead of warm and separated
  • The secret that changed everything for me was switching to a really good quality cream cheese that's been softened properly. It's the difference between a dip that feels homemade and one that tastes like it came from a recipe
