Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 whole jalapeno
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Start by cutting the avocados in half and removing the pits. Scoop the flesh of the avocados into a food processor or high-speed blender.
Add the fresh lime juice and extra virgin olive oil to the processor. These ingredients add acidity and richness to the sauce.
Rinse and measure 0.25 cup of fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the processor. They will infuse the sauce with a fresh, herbaceous flavor.
Peel and coarsely chop one large garlic clove and add it to the processor. If you love garlic, you can adjust to taste.
Carefully slice the jalapeno in half, remove the seeds and membrane if you prefer less heat, and add half of the jalapeno to the processor.
Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper. These will enhance all the flavors.
Pour in 0.25 cup of water to help the sauce blend smoothly.
Blend the mixture on high until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the sauce is too thick, you can add additional water, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice or salt according to your taste preferences.
Transfer the creamy avocado sauce to a bowl and serve immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
