Therefore, I now refer to it as &#8220;Avocado Spread.&#8221;  It fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a versatile spread.  I definitely put avocado spread on almost everything I make that starts with taco.  I love the stuff!!! \u00a0It resembles guacamole, but just a simpler version. \u00a0I make it as a thick spread mostly, but you can also mix it into a lumpier texture (See bottom pic).  It compliments most anything, even beans and rice in a wrap or in a burrito bowl.  Oh, yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avocado&nbsp;is a wonder food. Yes, avocados&nbsp;are rich in antioxidants, which protects the immune system. They contain an array of phytonutrients, such as vitamin A, &nbsp;vitamin B-12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K,&nbsp;calcium, copper, iron, manganese, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, thiamin, riboflavin, and zinc.&nbsp;Avocados contain fatty acids that protect the body against all kinds of disease and ailments. In particular, avocados reduce the risk of various cancers, diabetes, and lower LDL cholesterol!&nbsp;Avocado&nbsp;has anti-aging properties and protects vision by lowering the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Don&#8217;t just take my word for it, read about the many health benefits of avocados in the Authority Nutrition article,&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/authoritynutrition.com\/12-proven-benefits-of-avocado\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">12 Proven Health Benefits of Avocado<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did I mention that this&nbsp;recipe is AWESOME on everything!!! I also use it as a dip for my corn chips. &nbsp;Oh yeah, it&#8217;s great on sandwiches as well. I use this pretty often. &nbsp;It is a staple. &nbsp;I hope you love it as much as I do!&nbsp; Let&#8217;s make it! Without further ado, here is the recipe&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avocado Spread<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>2 cloves of garlic, minced<\/li><li>2 large avocados, ripe<\/li><li>2&nbsp;tablespoons fresh lemon juice<\/li><li>2 tablespoons water (cold, if using a blender)<\/li><li>3\/4 teaspoon salt (or less, but no more than this)<\/li><li>1\/8 teaspoons cayenne pepper<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li><a href=\"http:\/\/simplepreparations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/avocado_dressing2.png\"><\/a>In a small food processor, pulse garlic cloves to mince.
