This dish is called a salad but is really more like a dip, a sort of Levantine guacamole. Spices, yogurt and lemon juice add layers of earthy flavor and bright acidity. We liked it served with pita chips, but it can also be served as a side dish with grilled or roasted meats and seafood.
Servings
Don't use underripe avocados. Their flavor isn't as full and fruity as fully ripe avocados, and they don't break down to a rich, creamy consistency. Don't mash the avocados until completely smooth; some lumps make the dish more satisfying.
ripe avocados, halved and pitted
tablespoons plain whole-milk yogurt, plus more to serve
