Avocado Spinach Dip

By |

If you love guacamole, you’ll love this dip! Adding spinach is a great way to get more greens into your diet, and you won’t even notice it’s in there. This works great as a veggie dip or topping. If you want to spice it up, add some peppers or pepper flakes. And instead of using tortilla chips for dipping, try sweet red peppers, cucumbers, or jicama.
