If you’re looking for easy party food ideas for a crowd, you will not be disappointed with this easy, make ahead party dip served with tortilla chips. It’s made with cheap, basic ingredients that everyone loves. How can you go wrong? It won’t be the prettiest dip on the appetizer table, but it will be the first to disappear.

My mom had a friend that made this easy avocado party dip recipe years ago. I always thought it was a strange combination, but, BOY, was it good! It’s also incredibly simple to make, so it’s been in my arsenal ever since.There’s no baking or a bunch of prep work needed. Just mix together the avocado, cottage cheese, salsa and garlic, and then watch it disappear! It’s obviously very similar to guacamole, but with a fun little twist.

The BEST Avocado Dip!

This party appetizer is always the first thing to disappear at parties. You can never go wrong with a cold dip that’s easy to throw together last minute.

  • 4-5 large ripe avocados
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar of salsa
  • 1 (16 ounce) container of cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh minced garlic (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • salt & pepper to taste

You’re just going to mix together smashed avocado, your favorite salsa, cottage cheese and a little fresh or powdered garlic, and then season with salt and pepper if needed. I always just do a few taste tests after everything is mixed together. The amount of salt needed will depend on the brand of salsa you choose.

Serve with tortilla chips as a party appetizer, or even just a snack at home with the family. This recipe makes quite a bit, so cut it in half if you’re not serving a crowd.

The great thing about avocado dips is that they are always savory and delicious, but yet super healthy! All of the ingredients in this dip are vegetarian and relatively good for you, and the cottage cheese is loaded with protein.
