Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small avocado
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh parsley, loosely packed
- ½ cup fresh dill, loosely packed
- ½ cup fresh mint, loosely packed
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 3–4 Tbsp lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ tsp salt (more to taste)
- pinch black pepper
- 2–4 Tbsp water (to thin it to desired consistency)
Instructions
- Slice the avocado in half and remove the skin and pit.
- Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor.
