Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 1 large lime
- 1 medium garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the baby spinach leaves, fresh cilantro, and green onions to a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, but not pureed.
Dice the jalapeño pepper finely after removing the seeds and membrane if you prefer a milder flavor. Mince the garlic clove.
Juice the lime and pour the juice into the mixing bowl with the avocados to prevent browning and to add tanginess.
Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher to your desired texture. Leave it slightly chunky or smooth it out entirely, based on your preference.
Add the chopped greens, cilantro, green onions, diced jalapeño, and minced garlic to the mashed avocado.
Stir in the salt, pepper, and olive oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve fresh with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos or salads.
