Pescatarian Avocado Dip
Creamy, bright, and packed with fresh flavor, this avocado dip is the kind of thing that disappears from the table before you even sit down. Ripe avocados get mashed to your preferred texture — chunky and rustic or silky smooth — then lifted with a generous hit of fresh lime juice that also keeps everything looking vibrant. What makes this version stand out is the unexpected combination of grated ginger and ground turmeric alongside the scallion greens and cilantro, giving it a warmth and depth that goes well beyond your average guacamole. Everything here is naturally plant-based and ocean-friendly, so it fits seamlessly into a pescatarian spread without any substitutions or workarounds. It comes together in a single bowl with just a fork or potato masher, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying it. Pile it onto fish tacos, serve it alongside grilled shrimp skewers, or just go straight in with your favorite chips — no judgment.
