Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 medium jalapeño pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing the fresh spinach and cilantro leaves thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Peel and pit the avocados, placing the flesh in a food processor.
Add the clean spinach leaves, sour cream, lime juice, and cilantro to the food processor with the avocados.
Peel the garlic clove and add it to the mixture in the food processor.
Carefully slice the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds and membrane if you prefer a milder dip, and then add half the jalapeño to the food processor.
Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients in the processor.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper.
Pulse the food processor several times until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with your choice of low-carb vegetables, such as celery sticks, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips.
