2 slices prosciutto 1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded, peeled and cubed 4 oz. plain goat cheese 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley 2 tsp. white balsamic vinegar 1/8 tsp. sea salt, or to taste 1/8 tsp. pepper, or to taste
  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.

Variations: Instead of goat cheese in the dip, Greek yogurt, feta or cream cheese can be substituted.

Serving Suggestion: Pair this with a cheese and charcuterie board.

Beverage Pairing: Enjoy with a glass of crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
