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
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and drying the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly. Pat them with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Step 4
Add the wilted spinach, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, diced red onion, black pepper, and cumin into the blender.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if needed, keeping in mind the low sodium restriction.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Serve the dip immediately with vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or as a spread on sandwiches.
Step 9
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
