We eat it too fast to see if it turns brown. But if anyone else has feedback from their batch, please let us all know. Thanks!

Plus there is a teaspoon of lemon juice in there…so that may slow the browning…If I prepared this for an appetizer party, I’d put it out with different types of good crackers…It’d be gone in an hour or less…lol…

I would add finely chopped celery and onion 1/2 tsp each. I had all ingredients except curry powder and left it out. I had the best of both worlds, crunch and creamy.

What could you substitute for the mayo?

A few options are plain yogurt, pesto, or hummus. They will all change the flavor, so choose what tastes best to you.

Very good. I would definitely cut back on the salt to at least 1/4 tsp

Valerie — Reply
Made this today! Because of the natural salt in the avocado, i’ll be reducing the salt to 1/4 tsp but otherwise this is WONDERFUL. I did add a tsp of Dijon instead of 1/2 tsp. -
