Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 small Jalapeño (seeded for less heat, optional)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cilantro and parsley leaves thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
Halve and pit the avocado, scooping out the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Roughly chop the jalapeño (removing seeds if desired for less heat) and garlic cloves. Add them to the blender.
Add the cilantro, parsley, lime juice, olive oil, water, kosher salt, ground cumin, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add additional water 1 teaspoon at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to preference.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
