Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 medium jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional for added flavor)
Instructions
Begin by washing the fresh spinach and cilantro leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.
Add the washed spinach and cilantro to the food processor with the avocados.
Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the food processor.
Next, add the fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the ingredients in the food processor.
If you want some heat and extra flavor, add the seeded and chopped jalapeño to the mix.
If using, sprinkle in the nutritional yeast for added flavor.
Secure the lid on the food processor or blender. Pulse a few times to break down the ingredients, then blend on high speed until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Taste the dip, and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the creamy avocado and spinach dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with your favorite Whole30-compliant veggie sticks, cucumber slices, or as a topping for grilled meats.
