Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley leaves
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 small Jalapeño (seeded for less heat, optional)
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water

• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cilantro and parsley leaves thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Halve and pit the avocado, scooping out the flesh into a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Roughly chop the jalapeño (removing seeds if desired for less heat) and garlic cloves. Add them to the blender.

Step 4

Add the cilantro, parsley, lime juice, olive oil, water, kosher salt, ground cumin, and black pepper to the blender.

Step 5

Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add additional water 1 teaspoon at a time until your desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to preference.

Step 7

Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
