Creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce (Avocado Crema)
Description
The Creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce combines ripe avocado with fresh cilantro and a quarter of a jalapeño to provide a balance of creaminess and mild spiciness. Garlic adds pungency, while sour cream or plain Greek yogurt contributes tang and smooth texture. Lime juice brightens the sauce, and olive oil helps emulsify it for a silky finish.
The ingredients are blended until smooth, with the option to leave it slightly chunky depending on preference. Control over the heat level is attained by including or reserving jalapeño seeds and membranes for the blend.
This sauce is ready to enjoy immediately and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days, making it a convenient addition to a variety of dishes.
