Barley Free Avocado Dip
Creamy, bright, and packed with fresh flavor, this avocado dip comes together in minutes with nothing more than a fork and a bowl. Ripe avocados get mashed to your preferred texture — rustic and chunky or silky smooth — then lifted with zingy lime juice, fragrant ginger, and a warm hint of turmeric that makes it feel a little more interesting than your average dip. Scallion greens and fresh cilantro fold right in, adding color and a gentle bite throughout every scoop. The whole thing is built from whole, recognizable ingredients, so there's no need to scan labels for hidden grain-based additives or thickeners that can sneak into store-bought versions. A final squeeze of lime and a scatter of extra cilantro before serving keeps it looking gorgeous on the table. Pair it with your favorite grain-free crackers, sliced veggies, or warm tortilla chips for an effortless crowd-pleaser that disappears fast.
