While classic guacamole contains only avocado, tomatoes, coriander and chilli, this dip has a base of cream cheese – medium or low fat, whichever you choose – and a hint of garlic, Tabasco, lemon juice and wine vinegar. Both dips are delectable. Use vegan cream cheese if you prefer.

SERVES 4–6

250g (9oz) cream cheese

1 garlic clove, crushed

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tabasco sauce

2 large, ripe avocados

1 tbsp lemon juice

dash of red wine vinegar

sprinkling of paprika, to garnish

tortilla chips or melba toast, to serve

Mix together the cream cheese, garlic, some salt, pepper and a few drops of Tabasco.

Just before serving, peel and mash the avocados with the lemon juice. Mix with the ricotta. Check the seasoning, adding a dash of wine vinegar.

Spoon the dip onto a plate and sprinkle with paprika to give a nice touch of scarlet against the pale green. Serve with tortilla chips or crisp melba toast.
