Creamy Avocado Spread

This creamy avocado spread is a multipurpose condiment that can be used as a healthy dip or creamy green goddess dressing. It’s also perfect to keep around for meal prep days.

I had the house all to myself and it was an unusual phenomenon.

The sounds of wind, rain and what I can only assume were city coyotes kept me on my toes.

One night I made crab legs. Another I made roasted shrimp. And the last night I made roasted potatoes and corn and tossed them in this creamy avocado spread. It was DELICIOUS!

How to use this avocado spread

This avocado spread recipe is purposely nice and thick so that you can smear it on toast or use it in sammies (bye bye mayo!).

But this spread is also very versatile. You can use it as:

• Salad dressing: If you add 1/4 cup of water and a pinch of salt to the spread, it’ll thin it out enough so that it’s a pour-able, healthy green goddess dressing
• Dip: Sometimes you need a dunk-tastic option that’s better for you than ketchup. Enter this avocado spread! It tastes extra great with sweet potato fries, plantain chips or tater tots
• Sauce for meats or roasted veggies: For a super easy dinner just put a big dollop of spread on baked chicken breast or roasted veggies. Serve with a microwaved baked sweet potato or some brown rice and dinner is ready in no time.

How long does it stay good?

Since you’re using fresh ingredients this avocado spread won’t last as long in the fridge as say bottled dressing or mayo. The acid from fresh lemon however keeps it fresh longer.

Generally it can stay good (and green) in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!

Though that’s not super realistic. It’s super tasty and you’re gonna want to put it on everything…so good luck with the 2 week timeline.
