Every summer, I find myself in a love affair with avocados. Of course, I enjoy them at all times of the year, but something about the warm weather just keeps me coming back for more…and more…and yep, still more!
Usually I keep avocados in stock to make guacamole, or to add to fresh tomato sandwiches, but occasionally I’ll get a little more creative. Exhibit A: my Avocado and Mango Green Smoothie. Exhibit B: Today’s post.
I first experimented with this garlic avocado spread recipe when I was visiting my family in Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago. I could not get over its versatility! Whether it was on my egg, lettuce, and tomato sandwich for lunch…
…or next to scrambled eggs for breakfast, this avocado spread was the perfect condiment for every meal.
So, as the summer comes to an end, it’s time to celebrate my favorite “seasonal” food with a new avocado recipe for you to try!

Great with blue corn chps!
Awesome! Sounds like a great combination. So glad you’re enjoying the recipe!
Where is the garlic?
Whoops! Looks like when I transferred over the recipe, I typed “2 cloves cloves” when I meant “2 cloves garlic” … thanks for pointing that out, it’s now updated. Hope you love the recipe!
Love the green color!
The more green, the better, right?! I wish they had avocado-colored everything, haha. Thanks for stopping by!
I absolutely adore avocados as well. This colour looks so great. 🙂
They are the best! Thanks for stopping by! Let me know if you try it out 🙂 – Lizzie
