Almost BLT dip

I feel like I some how manage to put avocado and spinach in EVERYTHING, especially my smoothies! I've been doing so good now with eating healthier and losing some weight, but tonight I really wanted a BLT (not so bad if you use healthy bread and limit your mayo and bacon). My husband, Dan, happened to be going to the food store so I sent him with my list.

Instead of the Bagel Thins I asked for, he brought me these bagel crisps (better than nothing, right?). This made me decide to turn my BLT craving into a dip, which actually turned out pretty good! I realize, in order to call it a BLT dip, it should probably contain lettuce. Instead, I used chopped spinach and an avocado. I am really not a guacamole lover but you can hardly taste the avocado in this dip. :)




Ingredients

1 ripe avocado
1 tomato
1 package frozen chopped spinach
6 strips bacon
1 Tbsp mayo (or a little less)
2 cloves garlic
salt and pepper to taste

 Instructions

1. Cook bacon (nice and crispy so it crumbles well).
2. Thaw and drain spinach.
3. Skin, pit and mash avocado.
4. Dice tomato.
5. In a bowl, mix together spinach, avocado, tomato, mayo, salt and pepper.
6. Grate or finely chop garlic into mix
7. Crumble bacon into mix

Serving suggestion: Tostitos scoops or bite size bagel crisps.
