Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 small jalapeño (optional, for extra heat)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Juice the lime and add the juice to the blender with the avocados.
Add the fresh cilantro leaves, extra virgin olive oil, one peeled garlic clove, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the blender.
If you like a bit of heat, chop the jalapeño, removing seeds for less spiciness, and add half of it to the blender.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to help blend and achieve a creamy consistency.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or lime juice if preferred.
Transfer the avocado crema to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
