This dip tastes best cold. Chill the avocados in advance if serving the dip immediately. Baby spinach can be used, but regular spinach will provide more texture and fiber.

1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (from 2 large shallots)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 3 cloves)
10 ounces spinach, rinsed well
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
