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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Slice the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.

Step 3

Add the washed spinach and cilantro to the food processor with the avocados.

Step 4

Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the food processor.

Step 5

Next, add the fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the ingredients in the food processor.

Step 6

If you want some heat and extra flavor, add the seeded and chopped jalapeño to the mix.

Step 7

If using, sprinkle in the nutritional yeast for added flavor.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Taste the dip, and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 10

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.
