This unexpected dip is a terrific way to use ripe avocados when guacamole isn't an option. It's mild, creamy, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. The only downside is that it only keeps for about day in the fridge, so plan on making it the night before packing it into someone's lunchbox if that's its destination. Serve it with pita or tortilla chips, breadsticks and cucumber slices, and double the recipe if you're feeding a crowd.
