Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 small jalapeño (optional, for extra heat)
- 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
Juice the lime and add the juice to the blender with the avocados.
Step 3
Add the fresh cilantro leaves, extra virgin olive oil, one peeled garlic clove, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the blender.
Step 4
If you like a bit of heat, chop the jalapeño, removing seeds for less spiciness, and add half of it to the blender.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of water to help blend and achieve a creamy consistency.
Step 6
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or lime juice if preferred.
Step 8
Transfer the avocado crema to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
