1 Ripe Avocado
1/2 Cup of Low Fat Sour Cream
1/4 Cup of Red Onion

1 Tablespoon of Fresh Lime Juice
1 Tablespoon of Seeded Jalapeño Pepper

1/2 Teaspoon of Hot Sauce (Try Tabasco)
Chef's Tip
Always wash your hands very well before cooking or baking.
It's hard to tell if an avocado is ripe, but if it isn't ripe then don't use it because it won't taste good! If the Avocado is too ripe, and turning a little brown, that's OK, you can still use it! Not too brown though...
If you don't like spicy food, or can't eat it, leave the jalapeño out!
Serving Suggestion.
You can serve this Spinach Avocado Dip with Tortilla chips, with Crudites, or even mix a tablespoon with freshly cooked pasta!
You can also keep it in the fridge for 3 days, as long as it is tightly covered with cling film.
