Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 medium Avocado
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium Jalapeño pepper (seeded for less heat, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cilantro and parsley leaves thoroughly, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Slice open the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon and place it into a blender or food processor.
Add the cilantro, parsley, fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves, and jalapeño pepper to the blender along with the avocado.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to help thin the mixture and make it easier to blend. You can adjust the amount of water later, depending on your desired consistency.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the blender sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
Transfer the dipping sauce to a serving bowl, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
