Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe avocados
10 ounces fresh spinach
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds. Immediately transfer the spinach to an ice bath to stop cooking. Squeeze out all excess water from the spinach.
Combine the blanched spinach, avocados, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
Season the dip with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using. Pulse briefly to combine.
Taste the dip and adjust salt or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
Notes
For a tangier dip, use sour cream in place of Greek yogurt.
If you prefer a less garlicky flavor, start with one clove of garlic and add more to taste.
