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.
