Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream (for a vegan option, you can use dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2-4 tablespoons water (optional, for desired consistency)

Instructions:

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, chopped cilantro, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), minced garlic, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add 2-4 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  3. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or lime juice according to your taste preferences.
  4. Transfer the avocado cilantro sauce to a bowl or jar.
  5. Serve immediately as a topping for tacos, salads, grilled meats, or as a dip for veggies and chips.
  • Tip: Any leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make sure to press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce to prevent browning.
