Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, tightly packed

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free yogurt alternative)

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (approximately 1 lime)

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon salt (adjust according to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

1-2 tablespoons water (to achieve desired consistency)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop the creamy flesh into a blender or food processor.

    Add Ingredients: To the blender with the avocado, add the freshly packed cilantro leaves, Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and the olive oil.

      Blend Until Smooth: Start blending the mixture at a high speed until it reaches a creamy and smooth texture. You may need to pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

        Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is thicker than you prefer, gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of water, blending after each addition until you achieve your ideal consistency.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste your sauce and feel free to adjust the flavors by adding more lime juice for brightness, salt for seasoning, or garlic for a bolder flavor if desired.

            Serve: Carefully transfer the creamy avocado cilantro sauce to a serving bowl. Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
