• To prevent the avocado from browning, squeeze some lemon juice over the dip and cover it tightly with plastic wrap before refrigerating.
• This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a stir before serving.

• Serve the dip with an assortment of dippers such as tortilla chips, crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables like carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and bell pepper strips.
