Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 small jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 1 large green onion, chopped
Instructions
Begin by washing the fresh baby spinach thoroughly under cold water and then pat dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth.
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the washed baby spinach to the blender along with the avocado.
Add the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and fresh lime juice to the blender.
Peel the garlic clove and add it to the blender. Also, add the fresh cilantro leaves, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
Remove seeds from the jalapeño and chop it finely. Add half of the jalapeño to the blender for a mild heat kick; adjust the amount as desired for more heat.
Chop the green onion and add it to the blender.
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure even blending.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, if time permits.
Serve chilled with fresh vegetable crudités, whole-grain crackers, or pita bread.
