Avocado Sauce Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Water, as needed to thin
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the peeled and pitted avocados, minced garlic, plain Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, olive oil, and fresh cilantro or parsley if using.
- Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Season and Adjust Consistency: Add salt and black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, blend in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water gradually until achieving the desired consistency.
- Serve or Store: Transfer the sauce to a bowl or jar and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- This creamy avocado sauce works excellently as a dip, salad dressing, taco topping, or sandwich spread.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut milk or simply add extra lime juice and olive oil.
- Use fresh lime juice to add a tangy brightness and help prevent the avocado from browning quickly.
- Refrigerate the sauce in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
