Light and Creamy Avocado DipI love avocado. It’s fully of healthy fats and nutrients.

I like this avocado spread because light and tasty.

It’s perfect to use instead of mayonnaise on a sandwich or burger.

It’s also great as a dip for veggies or chips.

Honestly, I’d be happy just eating it with a spoon…

1/3 of a white onion
