Avocado sauce
Yield: ~2 ½ cups of avocado sauce
Creamy avocado sauce recipe made with avocados, limes, cilantro, hot peppers, garlic, olive oil and cumin. This is great dipping sauce for empanadas and can also be used for grilled meat and seafood.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 limes, juiced – a little over ½ cup of juice
- 1 medium sized bunch of cilantro, chopped
- 2-3 jalapeños or Serrano peppers, seeded and deveined
- 3-4 garlic cloves, crushed
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender; it helps the blending process if the avocados are in small chunks and the cilantro is lightly chopped. I also recommend crushing the garlic before putting it in the blender to ensure no one gets a surprise large piece of garlic.
- Blend until you have a smooth sauce. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
