Hello lovelies, today's recipe is fruity and a little playful: a sweet strawberry guacamole. Yes, you read that right – this isn't a savoury guacamole but a creamy dessert dip, where the avocado only provides the velvety texture while strawberries, honey and vanilla set the tone. At our place it's a real favourite on warm days, because it comes together quickly and needs no oven at all.
For the cream, avocado, Greek yogurt, honey, a squeeze of lime and a little vanilla go into the blender until everything is lovely and smooth. If you like, blend in a few mint leaves – it makes the dip even fresher. I dice the strawberries small and fold them in only at the end, so they stay recognisable as fruity little pieces.
You can barely taste the avocado – it mostly provides the creamy base that pairs so well with the sweet strawberries. A little lime zest on top, a few mint leaves, and the simple dip turns into a pretty dessert. My girls love dunking sweet crackers or biscuits into it.
The strawberry guacamole tastes best freshly made, while it's still bright and vibrant. It also works wonderfully on a summery apéro board or as a light dessert after a barbecue.
If you love strawberries in summer as much as I do, try my strawberry galette, the strawberry rhubarb tiramisu and the creamy mediterranean avocado dip too.
