Step 1
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.

Add the fresh lime juice and extra virgin olive oil to the blender.
Step 3
Add the plain Greek yogurt for a creamy texture and to enhance the heart-healthy benefits of the dish.

Peel the garlic clove and add it to the blender. For a milder taste, use half a clove.

Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper.
Step 7
Add the water to help achieve the desired consistency. You can add more if you like your sauce thinner.
