A vibrant, garlicky green guacamole that’s silky smooth. With only 5 ingredients and an extra healthy boost from fresh spinach, this spinach guacamole stays a brilliant beautiful green color and it’s just perfect for dipping or serving atop your favorite Mexican foods.

Speaking of Mexican food, I also included a BIG bunch of delicious recipes (more than 50!) from some super talented food bloggers to enjoy with your guac. You’re definitely going to want to check out that list while you’re munching on your first batch of this spinach guacamole. Once you’ve tasted this gaucamole, you’ll want to make it over and over again, along with lots of scrumptious Mexican food to go with it.

When I social-distance visited my parents, they gave me a HUGE bag of fresh spinach from their garden. I was super happy because spinach is delicious both fresh and cooked, but still, it was a really really BIG bag. So I went searching for spinach recipes. And I found that spinach guacamole is a thing. Who knew? I ought to have guessed … I mean, I’ve made asparagus guacamole before and totally loved it. Spinach guacamole is not so far from that, but it’s even easier because it’s made with FRESH spinach. Nooooo cooking required. Ready in minutes.

The other thing I love about spinach guacamole? It’s a super beautiful vibrant green color … and it STAYS that way! None of that browning that typically happens with guac. This guacamole is silky and creamy, it’s got that bit of garlicky bite, a little tang from the lemon, a little salty undertone, but no taste of spinach. Yet it doesn’t turn brown. Hurrah! It’s everything I always wanted in a smooth guacamole. I could snack on this stuff for days (and, since I have 4 ripe avocados and still a big pile of spinach that needs using, I might have to, but I totally don’t mind. I think I could eat Mexican food every day and never tire of it.)

And don’t forget: if you love Mexican food, I’ve collected a HUGE bunch of seriously yummy recipes for you. Keep scrolling down, my friends and you’ll find the treasure-trove of Mexican recipes.
