I’m a big fan of dipping things in guacamole, and this recipe is one of my favorites. The greek yogurt adds creaminess and rich and slightly tart taste to guacamole while giving it that extra punch of protein.
Avocados can be a little finicky when it comes to picking ones that are perfectly ripe and not spoiling. I love adding greek yogurt to the guacamole because it not only helps on those occasions when I find I don’t have enough ripe avocados, but because it also reduces the calorie count.
Just a dollop of greek yogurt makes the guacamole extra creamy, lighter to digest, and more flavorful. What could be better!?

How to store it?
Unfortunately, guacamole tends to turn color rather quickly, so don’t prepare it more than 2-3 hours in advance. A tablespoon of lemon slows down the color changing so be sure not to skip that step.
Cover it with a plastic wrap or place it in an airtight glass container in the fridge, if you would like to prepare this creamy guacamole with greek yogurt in advance.
