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
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the baby spinach leaves, fresh cilantro, and green onions to a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, but not pureed.
Step 3
Dice the jalapeño pepper finely after removing the seeds and membrane if you prefer a milder flavor. Mince the garlic clove.
Step 4
Juice the lime and pour the juice into the mixing bowl with the avocados to prevent browning and to add tanginess.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Add the chopped greens, cilantro, green onions, diced jalapeño, and minced garlic to the mashed avocado.
Step 7
Stir in the salt, pepper, and olive oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve fresh with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos or salads.
