I've never made this before, but since we're all avocado fans around here, I'll be serving when we have our friends next weekend for a Game Night.  I thought I'd share.

It comes from this website.

AVOCADO CRACK DIP RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 large avocados (chopped into small chunks)
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes (chopped into small chunks)
• 4 ounces plain crumbled feta cheese
• 1 small bunch of fresh parsley (chopped fine)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1.5 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1/2 tsp or more of garlic powder
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh onion or 1 tsp onion powder (optional)
• 1 bag tortilla chips for serving

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Except for the avocados, combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, and then chop the avocados and gently stir them in just before serving.

TIPS:

• I’ve also made this with cottage cheese in place of the feta, and YUM! It’s surprisingly good.
• Feel free to use fresh garlic and any tomato of your choice. I like the cherry tomatoes because you get more skin and less of the juicy guts.
• My family is not a raw onion fan, so I always omit them from recipes, but they are a nice addition if you’re into that.

@house_cat.  Yum, sounds good but I couldn't eat guacamole without onion in it.

@house_cat  Thanks for the recipe.  I make that and I add canellini beans to it. I also sometimes sub goat cheese for the feta. The goat is less salty but it does mush in whereas the feta stays stable. The goat cheese has a completely different flavor. It's much milder than feta. The feta gives more of a punch. I could spread goat cheese (especially the expensive ones) on cardboard. That's just me.

Cottage cheese, nice!  Thanks again.

@Kachina624 

I have every intention of adding red onion to it.

@Coquille 

I can put feta into anything and my DH will like it... so that will be my choice.  Goat cheese is a great idea, too, but I'm not liking the idea of cottage cheese at all.

Looks delicious.  I would also omit the onion.  Maybe add some cilantro too.

Thanks for posting!

@house_cat 

Which way are you going to make your dip?

Asking because the video instructions are different than the printed instructions.  

Going to try to make "crack" this weekend.

Yeah, interesting that the herb is parsley and not cilantro. I think I would do half and half as I adore cilantro but I realize many people do not.

@house_cat, thanks for the recipe. Looks really GOOD! 😋

I am so tired of the term "crack" in recipes.  I feel we have hit the tipping point and people need to be a little creative with recipe titles.  Looks like a jazzed up guacamole to me.
