Creamy Avocado Sauce Recipe
Description
This sauce is made by blending ripe avocado with fresh cilantro, chopped white onion, minced garlic, and lime juice, complemented by mild heat from deseeded jalapeño and seasoned with sea salt. Water is added incrementally during blending to achieve a creamy, pourable texture. Its freshness comes from the lime and cilantro, balanced by the richness of the avocado.
The sauce is useful as a condiment for grilled meats, tacos, or as a dressing for salads and bowls. Its creamy texture allows it to be spooned or drizzled over dishes requiring a bright herbaceous note with a touch of spice. The lime juice also helps preserve the green color after blending.
Adjust the amount of water to control consistency, making it thicker for dipping or thinner for drizzling. Removing jalapeño seeds moderates heat, allowing customization of spice level.
Ingredients
- 1 avocado ripe
- ½ cup cilantro packed

Instructions

Notes
