    This parsley avocado spread it easy to make and very delicious! It’s perfect on your salad, on veggies or spread on bread for your sandwiches!

    I look at this lovely simple avocado spread and think ‘green yummy goodness’.  It is so versatile and I use it in so many ways.  One of my favorites is spread on some bread with slices of tomatoes.  Christopher loves to dollop it on his salad.

    What makes this an awesome spread

    • It takes 5 minutes or less to make and has only 6 ingredients if you count the salt.
    • As it sits in the fridge, it thickens up, which makes it spread easily over bread and toast.
    • The spread lasts for 3 weeks in your fridge; just stir it up and you’re good to go.
    • One avocado goes a long way with the addition of the other ingredients, which means you can enjoy it more days.

    Helpful tips

    • I get my avo oil at Trader Joe’s but if you can’t find avocado oil, you can substitute extra virgin olive oil for it.
    • I always strip the parsley leaves off the stems because the stems add a strong flavor that I believe isn’t appropriate for this spread.
    • Use Greek yogurt (plain) as it gives the spread more substance than thinner, traditional yogurt.

    How to wash Parsley

    • Fill a big bowl halfway with cold water.
    • Take the bunch of parsley by the stems and dunk them in the water.
    • Swish and swirl the parsley and if there is any sand/dirt, it will fall to the bottom of the bowl. Repeat a couple of times with fresh water.
    • Lay the parsley on a paper towel and pat the plant with another paper towel to dry off the leaves.

    How to make parsley avocado spread

    Pre-step

    Get out your food processor.

    Step two

    Gather parsley, Greek yogurt and avocado oil.

    Step three

    Gather the avocado and the lemon and cut both fruits in half.

    Step four

    Strip the parsley leaves off the stems and place them in the food processor.  Discard the stems.

    Step five

    Take out the avocado pit and hold the fruit in your hand.  Take a knife and cut the avocado in chunks.  Scoop the flesh out of the skin with a spoon and add to the food processor.

    Step six

    Use a hand fruit press to squeeze the juice out of half of a lemon directly into the processor.

    Step seven

    Add avocado oil, yogurt and salt.

    Step eight

    Lock the lid in place and process the mixture on high for 1 minute.  Open lid and scrape down the sides with a spatula.  Lock the lid again and process for another minute.

    Transfer parsley avocado spread to a jar.

      I do love avocado. This is such a pretty green colour. What a great recipe to use once my herb garden starts growing… a perfect place to use fresh herbs.
