Make a smooth, bright green sauce featuring avocado and cilantro, perfect for tacos or grilled foods.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, packed
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/4 cup water (or more for thinning)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or high-speed blender.
  2. Add the cilantro, Greek yogurt, water, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to the processor.
  3. Blend the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. If the sauce is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Taste the sauce and adjust salt or lime juice if necessary.
  6. Transfer the sauce to an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a vegan or dairy-free version, substitute the Greek yogurt with plain unsweetened soy yogurt or cashew cream.
  • If you do not have a food processor, you can use an immersion blender, but you may need slightly more liquid to achieve a smooth texture.
  • This sauce works well as a dressing for salads, a topping for fish or chicken, or a dip for vegetables.
