1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.

Add Ingredients: Add the cilantro leaves, Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the blender.

Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes creamy and smooth. You may need to stop and scrape the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure everything is well combined.
