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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Add the fresh lime juice and extra virgin olive oil to the processor. These ingredients add acidity and richness to the sauce.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Peel and coarsely chop one large garlic clove and add it to the processor. If you love garlic, you can adjust to taste.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper. These will enhance all the flavors.

Step 7

Pour in 0.25 cup of water to help the sauce blend smoothly.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice or salt according to your taste preferences.

Step 10

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.
