Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh lime juice to the blender to prevent the avocados from browning and to add a refreshing tang to the sauce.
Add the plain Greek yogurt to the blender for creaminess without the need for extra sodium.
Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the blender. Adjust quantity based on your preference for garlic intensity.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the blender. Be sure to wash it thoroughly before chopping.
Add the extra virgin olive oil to the blender to help emulsify the sauce and add a smooth texture.
Sprinkle the black pepper into the blender for a hint of spice.
Add water to the blender to achieve the desired consistency. You may add more water if a thinner sauce is preferred.
Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, this can take 2-3 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust lime juice or pepper, if desired. Serve immediately as a dressing, sauce, or dip.
