Creamy Avocado Sauce

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: ~2 ½ cups of avocado sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • The juice of 2-4 small limes, adjust to taste
  • 1 medium sized bunch of cilantro, chopped
  • 2-3 jalapeños or Serrano peppers, seeded and deveined (use green bell pepper for a non-spicy version)
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, crushed – adjust to taste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil – or avocado oil for a neutral flavor
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin – optional, adjust to taste
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients in a blender; it helps the blending process if the avocados are in small chunks and the cilantro is lightly chopped. I also recommend crushing the garlic before putting it in the blender to ensure no one gets a surprise large piece of garlic.

Blend until you have a smooth sauce. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
