Notes
- Either a blender or a food processor will work when making this sauce.
- This avocado green sauce is best served chilled. Keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
- You may freeze this sauce but consider adding extra acidity like more lime juice so it preserves its green color.
