Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- 0.5 medium jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh cilantro leaves, sour cream, lime juice, garlic clove, half of a jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat), olive oil, salt, and ground cumin to the blender.
Blend the ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and continue blending until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or jalapeño if desired.
Transfer the cilantro cream sauce to a bowl or jar. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
