Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- For a thinner sauce, add more lime juice.
Notes
- Storage: It should keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just make sure to press a piece of plastic wrap on top of the crema to prevent oxidization.
- Change the viscosity. If made as prepared, this recipe will yield a deliciously thick and creamy avocado dip. For a more drizzle-able avocado topping that can act as a salad dressing or taco sauce, simply add more liquid in the form of citrus juice.
- Use fresh citrus juice. Bottled lime or lemon juice can’t hold a candle to the real thing. Do yourself a favor and buy fresh fruit!
- Cilantro stems are a-okay. While some herb stems are tough, woody, and have a bitter flavor, cilantro stems are typically tender and full of delicious cilantro flavor. I suggest cutting off the bottom couple of inches of the stems, then toss the rest directly into your blender.
