Creamy Avocado Vegetable Spread

By Ally @allykitchen

Finding easy and healthy ways to trim a few calories and ramp up the nutrition value of what we eat is always on my mind. Of course, avocados are perfect for making spreads and dips that can be used in so many ways. This creamy avocado vegetable spread is perfect on toast, as a sandwich spread or scooped up with a cracker. As an FYI, did you know that the avocado is technically a fruit and more specifically a berry. Yes! That's because of the big seed in it!

Now this creamy avocado vegetable spread a tad bit different than some uses of avocados because it incorporates maybe unexpected vegetables in it. Cucumbers and green bell peppers. There are so so so many things about avocados that are spot on for both cooking and eating. To check out these interesting tidbits, the Huffington Post gives six things you probably didn't know about avocados. And, believe me, I learned something reading this article on the green superfood! Plus, these littl' alligator skin like fruits are for more than eating! I mean did you know that they're good for reducing wrinkles, and I'm not talking wrinkles in your clothing! Hey, if you're a female over 30 reading this, I know I've gotten your attention!

For now, let's just focus on eating this superfood, baking with it, eating it straight from its alligator skin and getting all those great nutritional benefits into our sweet beautiful bodies!
