Ingredients
- 1 avocado medium
- 1 jalapeño small
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tablespoon (6 g) cilantro
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ lime around 2 tablespoon lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper optional, ground
- 2-4 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for a milder flavor or leave them for extra heat. Roughly chop the cilantro and peel the garlic.
- Add the avocado, jalapeño, Greek yogurt, cilantro, garlic, fresh lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper (if using) to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth, adding 2–4 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or salt to taste.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Enjoy as a drizzle, dip, or spread!
Notes
- Jalapeño is optional, but adds a nice kick of heat. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
- Add 2–4 tablespoons of water to achieve the desired consistency. Start with less and adjust as needed.
- For a thicker, chunkier texture, pulse the blender; for a creamy consistency, blend longer until smooth.
- Store the avocado crema in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For best freshness, use it within the first day.
