Spinach Guacamole

If you like guacamole, then you will like guacamole + spinach. Really, you can use whatever your favorite guac recipe may be and mix in as much spinach as you like. Here was our approach:

You Will Need:

1. Two ripe avocados--pitted

2. Half a lime

3. Small wedge of red onion--about a quarter to third a cup

4. A (generous) handful of spinach--one to two cups fresh leaves

5. A tbs. of salsa--we used an organic garlic salsa (this is cheating a bit since I didn't have tomatoes on hand)

6. Salt + pepper to taste

First, wilt your spinach leaves in a pan on medium heat until they are fully cooked and reduced. When the spinach is done cooking, take off the heat and let cool until the spinach reaches around room temperature.

Chop up your red onion wedge and add into bowl with the avocado. Add in the juice of half a lime along with salt + pepper to taste.


When the spinach cools, chop up into smaller peices and throw into the guac mix. Mash all the ingredients together until the avocados become a smooth consistency--it's good if you leave it a bit chunky, too. You can save a small amount of spinach for garnish on top. Dried spinach leaves or spinach flakes/powder also work as a nice finishing touch. Pour into your serving dish with some organic blue corn tortilla chips and there you have it:

Then you can dig in! It's simple--but tasty.

Enjoy!
