Instructions
Preparation
- Start your adventure by adding the ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and cumin to a blender or food processor.
- Blend everything together until smooth. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- After blending, be sure to taste your sauce. Adjust flavor by adding more lime juice, salt, or herbs if needed.
- Transfer your creamy avocado sauce into a clear glass jar for a visually appealing presentation. Seal it tightly and refrigerate.
Notes
Use a ripe avocado for the best texture. Optional extras include a dash of hot sauce for heat or diced jalapeños for an extra kick. If short on time, mash the ingredients with a fork for a less smooth but tasty version.
