Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Step 2
Add the fresh lime juice to the blender to prevent the avocados from browning and to add a refreshing tang to the sauce.
Step 3
Add the plain Greek yogurt to the blender for creaminess without the need for extra sodium.
Step 4
Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the blender. Adjust quantity based on your preference for garlic intensity.
Step 5
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the blender. Be sure to wash it thoroughly before chopping.
Step 6
Add the extra virgin olive oil to the blender to help emulsify the sauce and add a smooth texture.
Step 7
Sprinkle the black pepper into the blender for a hint of spice.
Step 8
Add water to the blender to achieve the desired consistency. You may add more water if a thinner sauce is preferred.
Step 9
Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, this can take 2-3 minutes.
Step 10
Taste the sauce and adjust lime juice or pepper, if desired. Serve immediately as a dressing, sauce, or dip.
