Avocado Tzatziki

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!"

Ingredients

  • 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemons, juiced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped seeded cucumber
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the avocado, garlic, lemon juice, sour cream and cucumber. Mash with a fork until smooth.
