Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 small avocados (diced)
- ½ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1-2 serrano peppers (chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice (~ ½ lime)
- 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno juice (otional)
- ¼ teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Greek yogurt, diced avocados, chopped cilantro, sliced serrano pepper, minced fresh garlic, lime juice, jalapeno juice, cumin, and salt.
- Use an immersion blender or food processor and blend the ingredients until smooth.
- Top with a pinch of salt and pepper & enjoy!
Notes
- Use perfectly ripe avocados. A ripe avocado should yield slightly when gently squeezed but not feel mushy. If it feels like a baseball, it's not ready. If it feels like baby food, it's too late.
- Fresh jalapeño or serrano peppers give better flavor than hot sauce. Remove the seeds if you want flavor without too much heat.
- Add a small splash of water to thin the avocado sauce, giving it a smoother, more easily drizzled consistency.
- Store leftover avocado cream sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To prevent the sauce from browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, or add a thin layer of lime juice on top before storing.
