Creamy, bright, and packed with fresh flavor, this avocado dip comes together in minutes and serves four with zero fuss. Three ripe avocados get mashed to your preferred texture — rustic and chunky or silky smooth — then lifted with fresh lime juice, scallion greens, cilantro, and a subtle warmth from grated ginger and ground turmeric. That combination of anti-inflammatory spices is what makes this dip feel a little more interesting than the usual bowl of guacamole. Following an autoimmune protocol means navigating a long list of off-limits ingredients, and many store-bought dips are loaded with nightshades, seed-based oils, or additives that simply don't work. Every single ingredient here is clean and protocol-friendly, so you can scoop away without second-guessing the label. A final squeeze of lime and a scatter of fresh cilantro before serving keeps everything tasting vibrant and alive. Pair it with sliced cucumber, jicama sticks, or any compliant veggie you have on hand for an easy, crowd-pleasing spread.

3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
3 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced

¼ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste

For serving

1 tbsp fresh lime juice, for serving (optional)
2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, for serving (optional)

Instructions
