Creamy Guacamole Salad

Here's a creation that I came up with this evening that comes highly recommended by my official recipe tester.

2 ripe avocados- pitted and scooped into a bowl
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 large spoonfuls of plain, Greek yogurt
1 handful of fresh spinach leaves, chopped
1/4 of a sweet onion finely diced
*for this recipe, I didn't have on hand fresh cilantro and juice from a lime, but I recommend adding these two ingredients if you have them on hand

*Seasonings to desired taste- start small add in little units until it tastes the way you want it to
Kosher salt
Fresh cracked pepper
Garlic powder
Chili powder
Cumin
Cayenne pepper
*I started with a small dash of each of these, then added more after I mashed them all together and it tasted the way I wanted

In a large bowl, mash all ingredients together using two forks until well combined

Use as a dip for your favorite chip or cracker or a topping on a dish to give it a fresh, southwest flavor.  I used it to top a quinoa/ground beef dish I made this evening and it gave the boring dish a great flavor and fresh feel.

Enjoy!
