Meet your new favorite party dip: Zesty Avocado Spinach Dip. It's a creamy, flavorful blend that brings together the freshness of spinach and the richness of avocado. Perfect for any gathering or a simple snack at home!
Fresh spinach is the star here, bringing vibrant color and a subtle earthy flavor. Avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats, making the dip rich without being heavy. Cream cheese and sour cream provide a smooth texture, while mayonnaise adds a tangy depth. The Parmesan cheese gives a sharp, nutty kick, and garlic introduces a bold aroma. A splash of lemon juice brightens everything up with its zesty punch. Lastly, the black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes round out the flavors, adding just the right amount of seasoning and heat.
This dip is perfect with crunchy tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetable sticks like carrots and celery. It also pairs wonderfully with whole-grain crackers for a wholesome snack.
Start by mashing the avocado in a large bowl until it's nice and smooth. You want to make sure there are no big chunks left; a fork works well for this. Once the avocado is ready, add in the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix them together until you have a creamy, unified base.
Next, stir in the chopped spinach. It’ll look like a lot at first, but it mixes in nicely. Add the Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and lemon juice to the bowl. These will bring out the best in your dip with their unique flavors.
Finally, season with black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Give everything a good stir until all the ingredients are well combined. Transfer the dip to your serving dish and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
