- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat dry using a kitchen towel or salad spinner.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and fresh lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Peel and pit the avocados, then add them to the food processor along with the fresh spinach, garlic cloves, and cilantro. Blend until everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Add the extra virgin olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Blend again until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the dip becomes creamy.
Step 5
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lemon juice if desired to enhance the flavor.
Step 6
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve the creamy avocado and spinach dip chilled with tortilla chips, pita bread, or freshly sliced vegetables such as cucumbers, carrots, or bell peppers.
Step 8
Garnish with extra fresh cilantro leaves before serving for an added touch of freshness.
