Healthy and Delish! Creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce

February 20, 2023 by Irina 12 Comments

Jump to Recipe

This creamy Avocado Cilantro sauce is so much more than your average condiment. This vibrant, creamy dream of a sauce enhances dishes from all corners of the world with its zesty, herbal flavor.

5-Minute SUPER Green Sauce - use as a dip, sauce or dressing. Simple ingredients avocado, parsley, cilantro, garlic, and lime. Vegan, Gluten Free and low carb!

Healthy Avocado Cilantro Sauce

This Avocado Cilantro green sauce is low-carb, vegan, and gluten-free. It has the simplest ingredients yet it is healthy and bursts with flavor and vitamins.

I love drizzling it over steak, lathering it onto my favorite air fryer breaded chicken dish, and air-fried pork chops, or scooping it up with chips and veggie platters. Your taste buds will thank you for introducing them to this unique and delicious addition.

Ingredients

This recipe makes approximately 10 oz (300 ml).

  • 1 Ripe Avocado
  • 1 cup of mixed Parsley and Cilantro (packed)
  • Squeezed juice of 1 lime
  • ½ teaspoon of Himalayan Pink salt (this is what I was using, you can also use sea salt)
  • ½ cup Olive oil
  • 4-5 cloves garlic
  • ½  cup water
  • Optional ingredient - ¼ cup of Pistachio nuts or other nuts of your choice
Ingredients for the Super Green Sauce

How to Make Avocado Cilantro Lime Sauce

  1. Add all ingredients (except nuts) into your blender or food processor. I used my Ninja Blender/Food Processor Combo.
  2. Blend it for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth.
  3. Add nuts and blend it again for another minute until smooth. That's it. The sauce is done! Pour the sauce from the blender into a bowl and start enjoying it while it's fresh and bursting with flavor and vitamins.
  4. Pro tip: Use a large silicone spatula to help scrape the sauce easily from the walls of the blender.

Storage

This avocado cilantro lime dressing is best consumed within a day or two but you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. 

Store the Avocado Cilantro sauce in a ceramic bowl or a glass jar in the refrigerator, covered. I used a wide-mouth glass Mason Jar to store it. The trick is to get your cilantro guac to the fridge before the oxygen has a chance to brown it up. But worry not, the sauce has lime juice, which serves as a natural preservative to avocado and keeps it from browning.

Tip: The sauce is even better the next day because the sauce gets thicker.

    I live alone and wouldn't be able to use the entire recipe in 3-4 days. Could it be frozen?

      HI Alice. I could say that it could be frozen, not for a long time though. I'm not sure how avocado holds up frozen. Definitely better if fresh. Another suggestions fro your is to cut the ingredients in recipe in half that way you can be enjoying it fresh. Good luck
