⏱️ Cooking Time: 15 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth and creamy. The creamier the avocado, the better it will blend with other ingredients. Add a small pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
  2. 2.
    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and add olive oil. Swirl the oil to coat the base evenly and add the fresh spinach. Stir frequently until the spinach has wilted completely and is vibrant green, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. 3.
    Remove the spinach from the heat and immediately add the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well, allowing the heat from the spinach to release the lemony aroma, which will slightly soften the spinach.
  4. 4.
    Mix the wilted spinach and lemon juice into the mashed avocado. Combine thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, light green mixture with small spinach ribbons visible throughout.
  5. 5.
    Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Serve immediately with toasted bread or as a dip for fresh veggies. If the mixture appears too runny, consider adding more avocado to thicken. If it becomes too thick, a splash of lemon juice will make it creamier.
