    🌱 Ingredients & Notes

    Here is everything you need for this recipe:

    • Ripe avocado - Soft but not overly mushy for the best creamy texture. This is the base of the creamy avocado sauce, so freshness is key.
    • Lime juice - Use fresh limes for the best tangy flavor. Bottled lime juice can work in a pinch but won’t have the same fresh taste.
    • Salt - Enhances the flavors in the recipe. Adjust to taste to balance the tanginess of the lime and the creaminess of the avocado.
    • Optional additions:
    • Fresh cilantro - Adds a hint of herbal freshness to the crema.
    • Garlic powder - For an extra layer of flavor.
    • Olive oil or water - To adjust the consistency if needed.

    🔪 Equipment

    Here what you need to make this recipe:

    • Airtight container - Use this to store the avocado lime crema. Make sure it seals tightly to prevent the oxidation process and keep it fresh for 1–2 days.
    • Measuring spoons and measuring cups

    ❄️ Storage

    Store any leftover Avocado Lime Crema in an airtight container. Cover the surface with a piece of plastic wrap to reduce the oxidation process. Keep it in the refrigerator and use it within 1-2 days for best results. Just give it a quick stir before serving to maintain its creamy texture.

    💡 Expert Tips & Tricks

    • Use Ripe Avocados - Ensure your avocados are soft but not overly mushy. This will give the Avocado Lime Crema its creamy texture and fresh avocado flavor. If your avocados aren’t ripe yet, place them in a brown paper bag to speed up the ripening process.
    • Fresh Lime Juice is Key - For the best tangy flavor, always use fresh lime juice instead of bottled. The vibrant, fresh flavors will elevate this creamy condiment.
    • Prevent Browning with Airtight Storage - To keep the Avocado Lime Crema fresh, transfer it to an airtight container and cover the surface with a piece of plastic wrap before sealing. This helps reduce the oxidation process and preserves its bright green color.
    • Adjust Consistency as Needed - If your avocado crema feels too thick, add a little water or olive oil while blending to create a thinner sauce. This makes it perfect as a salad dressing or a versatile condiment.
    • Enhance Flavor with Fresh Additions - Add a small handful of fresh cilantro or a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor. Fresh garlic or olive oil can also be used to boost the sauce’s delicious flavors.
    • Serve Immediately for Best Flavor - This crema is best served fresh to enjoy its creamy texture and tangy flavor!
