# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required—just blend and serve, giving you more time to perfect your costume
  • Naturally vegan and gluten-free adaptable, so everyone at your party can indulge without worry
  • The vibrant green color happens all on its own, making this dip feel intentional and impressive without any fussy techniques
  • It genuinely tastes as good as it looks, with bright lime and creamy avocado that keeps guests coming back
02 -
  • Don't prep this more than 2-3 hours ahead. Avocado oxidizes, and while the lime juice helps, the color will fade from that impossible witch's-brew green to something duller. The magic is in that vibrant color, so timing matters.
  • Always taste your dip before serving. Every avocado is different, every lime has different intensity. A pinch more salt, an extra squeeze of lime—these small adjustments are the difference between good and unforgettable.
  • The dark ingredients around the bowl aren't just decoration. They're what make people pause and look twice. Don't skimp on the color contrast—the blue chips and black olives matter.
03 -
  • If you're using a food processor and the dip seems too thick, add sour cream one tablespoon at a time rather than water—it keeps the richness intact while loosening the texture
  • Make sure your avocado is truly ripe. An underripe avocado will make for grainy texture and pale color. When in doubt, squeeze gently—it should give like a firm pear, never like a hard apple
  • The lime juice is non-negotiable. It's not just about preventing browning; it's your brightest flavor note. Fresh lime juice, squeezed right into the bowl, makes everything taste alive
