Wash the sorrel and spring onion under running water. Dry on a paper towel. Remove the thicker stems from the sorrel and finely chop the leaves. Slice the spring onion into thin rings, separating the white and green parts; set aside the green tops for decoration. Cut the chili pepper in half lengthwise, remove the seeds if you prefer less heat, and then finely chop.
Description
A creamy dip that combines velvety avocado with salty feta and a hint of Asian umami (soy sauce, sesame oil). The addition of sorrel and spring onion adds freshness, while chili pepper brings heat — a blend of Polish spring greens with fusion flavors. Perfect as an appetizer for sourdough bread, crispy toasts, millet crackers, or vegetable sticks. It's quick (about 15 min), impressive, and has a lovely green-cream appearance with a splash of red from the chili.

Preparation steps
Preparation of ingredients
Preparing the avocado
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, twist the halves, and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl with a spoon. If the avocado is very firm, set it aside for 10–15 minutes at room temperature. Check the ripeness — the flesh should be creamy and easily separate from the skin.
Mixing and blending
In a bowl with avocado flesh, add crumbled feta cheese, lime juice (cut the lime and squeeze without seeds), sesame oil, soy sauce, and garlic cloves grated on a fine grater or pressed through a garlic press. Add chopped sorrel, the white part of the spring onion, and chopped chili pepper. Mash everything with a potato masher or fork to a creamy but slightly chunky consistency — about 1–2 minutes if mashing by hand; if using a blender, blend briefly (2 x 1 second) to avoid overheating and turning it into soup.
Seasoning
Add salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste the dip with a teaspoon and adjust the flavor — if it's too salty, add a bit of natural yogurt (optional) to soften the saltiness; if it's too sour, add a bit of oil or more avocado. Mix everything for 30–60 seconds until the flavor is uniform.
Finishing and serving
Transfer the dip to a bowl. Sprinkle with the green tops of scallions and optionally with toasted sesame seeds. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes at room temperature for the flavors to meld, then serve with sourdough bread, millet crackers, or vegetable sticks (carrot, celery, cucumber).
Fun Fact
The combination of avocado and cheese has a long history in fusion cuisines — in Latin American countries, avocado was paired with local cheeses, and the addition of soy sauce dates back to contemporary fusions of Asian cuisine with local flavors.

Tips
Serve the dip in a small bowl so guests can reach for it more often — freshness is key. It tastes great with thinly sliced sourdough bread that has been lightly warmed in a pan. It can also be used as a spread for tortillas or a filling for sandwiches with roasted meat.
Store the dip in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. To reduce browning of the avocado, cover the top layer with plastic wrap so that it touches the surface. When reheating (if desired), it's better to serve at room temperature — take it out of the refrigerator 20–30 minutes before serving.
