# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks absolutely mesmerizing and Halloween-perfect, but comes together in just 20 minutes with no cooking required
  • That creamy, dreamy green dip tastes luxurious but sneaks in real spinach and fresh avocado, so you feel good serving it
  • The color contrast—deep purples, blacks, and that vibrant green—photographs like a dream and becomes the conversation starter at any party
  • Kids and adults genuinely fight over it, and you'll find yourself doubling the batch next time
02 -
  • Make the dip no more than 2 hours before serving, or it will start to brown at the edges. If this happens, just smooth the top again—it still tastes perfect, but the look suffers slightly.
  • Always use a ripe avocado. An underripe one will make the texture gritty, and an overripe one will taste bitter. Press gently near the stem—you want it to yield just a little.
  • The spinach amount looks like a lot, but it disappears completely into the blend and that's exactly what you want. It gives you the color and nutrition without anyone detecting the vegetables.
03 -
  • Use a food processor rather than a blender if you have one—it gives you more control over texture and you're less likely to over-blend and create a separated, grainy mess
  • Chill the bowl slightly before filling it. A cold surface helps the dip hold its shape and keeps it fresh-looking longer during the party
  • If you want to make this vegan, swap the cream cheese and sour cream for cashew cream (soaked and blended cashews with a bit of water) and nutritional yeast for the tangy element. It's honestly just as good, and nobody will notice the difference
