Creamy avocado sauce recipe

To prepare this creamy avocado sauce, we recommend buying a very ripe avocado. This will ensure that you get the desired texture. On the other hand, we recommend using extra virgin olive oil, which is healthier. If you don’t have it handy, you can use sunflower oil.

While you can find products with these characteristics on the market, it is always best to make natural versions. This way you can be sure that it contains 100% natural ingredients, while at the same time saving you money.

Ingredients

• 1 large ripe avocado

• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 lemon with peel
• 45 ml extra virgin olive oil (3 tablespoons)
• 1 bunch fresh coriander
• 60ml water
• 5 grams of salt (1 teaspoon)

Preparation

• First, take your lemon and remove the rind. Set it aside so you can use it later to add a citrus scent to this recipe.
• Then squeeze the lemon and extract as much juice as possible.
• Then cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and remove all the flesh with the help of a spoon.
• Then peel and crush the garlic clove. If you’re using whole cumin, grind it.
• Then put all ingredients in a blender.

• Blend it for a few minutes until you get a smooth sauce.
• If you don’t have a blender, use a mortar. Note that in this case you will have to put in more effort to get the desired texture.

Latest comments

You should be careful about adding oils and opt for healthier versions. A creamy avocado sauce is a great addition to your salads, as long as you use healthy ingredients.

In this regard, it is essential to avoid mistakes in their preparation that could affect the quality. Some of the most common salad mistakes are:

• Use unhealthy vegetable oils, such as soy or palm oil. The main recommendation is to use extra virgin olive oil. If you don’t have it, substitute sunflower oil.

• Add too much oil. Avocado, the main ingredient of this sauce, is rich in fatty acids. It is therefore not necessary to add too much oil to get the expected result.
• Add too much salt. While you can adjust it to everyone’s taste, it’s best to avoid excesses. Remember that excessive salt intake is linked to cardiovascular health problems (Spanish link), such as hypertension.
• Use processed spices. Many commercial spices contain added flour and other components. It is best to opt for natural versions, without artificial preservatives.
