This Creamy Spinach Artichoke Dip with Avocado is a perfect appetizer for any occasion. I like to serve it during summer picnic season with family and friends or during the winter holiday season. It’s a perfect dip for a New Year’s Eve party as well.
The dip is mayo free, very flavorful, filling, and healthy.
Instead of mayo, I used mashed avocado mixed with Montchevre goat cheese and a little bit of organic sour cream. For a dairy-free and vegan version, it could be easily substituted with almond ricotta and coconut cream. You mix up all the ingredients and bake to perfection.
I served the dip with homemade grain-free tortilla chips, but it can be served with baby carrots and celery sticks instead.
