2/20/2014 Avocado sauce recipe
http://laylita.com/recipes/2013/01/29/avocado-sauce/ 2/6
I made this avocado sauce specifically to accompany some chorizo & cheese filled empanadas. I wanted the flavors
of guacamole but wanted something easier to pair with empanadas than the typical chunkier guacamole. This
avocado sauce is perfectly smooth, refreshing and spicy. It turned out to be a great sauce not just for empanadas
but also for grilled meats or seafood, a replacement for mayonnaise on sandwiches, or simply a great dipping sauce.
This avocado salsa is very easy to make: just put all the ingredients in the blender. Of course, it helps to chop and
crush the ingredients a little before; this will minimize the number of the times you have to shake up the blender
before pulsing again (and again).


You can adjust the heat level based on your preference. My family -kids included- has a decent tolerance for spice;
however, you can also make this sauce very mild by using jalapeos removing the veins and seeds help reduce the

Yield: ~2 cups of avocado sauce
spiciness. For a spicier version use Serrano peppers or Habaneros. This sauce can be made right before serving or
ahead of time, it has a lot of lime juice which prevents it from oxidizing, so it can last up to 24 hours before turning
brown.
Avocado sauce
Creamy avocado sauce recipe made with avocados, limes, cilantro, hot peppers, garlic, olive oil and
cumin. This is great dipping sauce for empanadas and can also be used for grilled meat and seafood.
Ingredients
2 ripe avocados
4 limes, juiced a little over cup of juice
1 medium sized bunch of cilantro, chopped
2-3 jalapeos or Serrano peppers, seeded and deveined
3-4 garlic cloves, crushed
cup olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt to taste
Instructions
1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender; it helps the blending process if the avocados are in small
chunks and the cilantro is lightly chopped. I also recommend crushing the garlic before putting it in the
blender to ensure no one gets a surprise large piece of garlic.
2. Blend until you have a smooth sauce. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

This looks delicious! I always wonder what to do with avocados because eating slices gets old after a
while I need to head out to the store to buy some more avocados and try this!

Simply beautiful. Avocado and guacamole are one of my favourite accompaniments! I mean who doesnt like
a bit of amazing sauce to go with their food. I enjoy the fact that everyone makes their sauces to their
experience and taste and how that differs in flavour. Definitely trying this one! Thank you.
