Can you use fresh spinach instead?

Hi, Carrie. You can sub in fresh spinach, but you should wilt it down a bit before adding to the recipe. About 1 pound of fresh spinach would be a good amount.

Hello. Would very much like to make this dip but maybe I've overlooked something. The recipe calls for avocado sauce but I didn't find how to make that sauce. Could you please include that in this dip recipe? I apologize if it is already there but I just didn't see it. Thanks, looking forward to your reply.

Alfredo sauce. Not avocado sauce. You can buy jarred Alfredo sauce in most grocery storesxnear the spaghetti sauces.

Alfredo sauce is a creamy, cheesy white sauce typically used on pasta dishes. It can be made at home, but most grocery stores should carry it!
