Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly. Pat them with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the spinach for about 2 minutes or until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the wilted spinach, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, diced red onion, black pepper, and cumin into the blender.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well mixed.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if needed, keeping in mind the low sodium restriction.
Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve the dip immediately with vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or as a spread on sandwiches.
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
