Avocado Tzatziki

SUBMITTED BY: ambolicious

"A colorful California version of this classic Greek sauce. Use on your favorite pita sandwich, gyro, falafel or as a fresh veggie dip. Also try it as a condiment for spicy Indian food and curries. Make it using yogurt in place of sour cream, or even without the sour cream for a great vegan alternative!"

  • 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
