Avocado sauce

This avocado sauce blends ripe avocado, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, garlic, olive oil, and optional cumin to create a smooth, creamy condiment. The jalapenos add a mild heat that can be adjusted for spiciness, balanced by the richness of the avocado and brightened by lime juice.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Blend until you have a smooth sauce. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
