Ingredients
Scale
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
2-4 tablespoons water, to thin
Instructions
Combine avocado, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of jalapeƱo or a dash of hot sauce.
If you don’t have a blender, you can mash the avocado with a fork and then vigorously whisk in the other ingredients.
This sauce is best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add a little extra lime juice before serving to refresh the color.
