Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup water (or more for thinner consistency)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Add the cilantro, water, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to the food processor.
- Process the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
- If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired drizzling consistency.
- Taste the avocado sauce and adjust salt or lime juice if necessary.
- Serve immediately as a creamy avocado dip or taco topping sauce.
Notes
- For a healthier version, substitute 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt for 2 tablespoons of the water.
- If you want a spicier kick, add half a small jalapeño (seeds removed) to the blender.
- This sauce works well as a dairy free avocado sauce for bowls or salads.
