Veggie-Packed Spinach and Artichoke Guacamole

This guacamole is a great way to get your veggies in. It's packed with spinach, artichoke hearts, and red onion, and it's seasoned with lime juice, cumin, and salt. It's a delicious and healthy dip that's perfect for any occasion.

The first time I made this guacamole, I was trying to find a way to use up some leftover spinach and artichoke hearts. I had never put spinach in guacamole before, but I figured it would be a good way to add some extra nutrients. And it was! The spinach adds a nice green color to the guacamole, and it gives it a slightly nutty flavor. The artichoke hearts add a bit of texture and a briny flavor that complements the spinach and avocado. And the red onion adds a bit of sweetness and crunch. The lime juice, cumin, and salt help to brighten up the flavors and give the guacamole a bit of a kick. This guacamole is a great way to get your veggies in, and it's so delicious that you won't even miss the meat.
