Avocado Sauce

This creamy, zesty avocado sauce is a delicious topping for tacos. Make the sauce vegan by using vegan mayo. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Reprinted from Simply Julia by Julia Turshen with permission from the publisher.

Instructions

  1. Place the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, mayonnaise, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. If your sauce is too thick, add water, ½ tablespoon at a time, to thin it to your desired consistency. Season to taste with more salt as needed.
  2. If you don't have a food processor, place the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, mayonnaise, and salt in a medium bowl, and use a fork or potato masher to mash until the ingredients are combined. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add water, ½ tablespoon at a time, to thin it to your desired consistency. Season to taste.

Notes

  • *You can taste the mayo here, so make sure to use a good one. I recommend Sir Kensington's Classic Mayonnaise or Avocado Oil Mayonnaise. Vegan mayo works here too!
