Turn a mediocre meal into something scrumptious with this healthy and easy Avocado Green Sauce.
A flavorful sauce that’s incredibly easy to make and chock full of healthy fats thanks to the avocado and avocado oil (or olive oil). This sauce is Whole30-friendly, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan-friendly. It’s a sauce for everyone, and it goes on everything! My favorite way to serve this sauce is as a dip or topping for grilled meats! It’s an easy way to add incredible flavor to meats. In the Spring, and especially Summer, I’m all about simple and easy cooking; I also want meals to be flavorful so this sauce is the ticket. Other ways to enjoy this sauce is as a dip for raw, roasted, or grilled veggies, as a topping for various ‘bowls’ whether it’s Mexican or Mediterranean inspired, or as a garlicky salad dressing. It even makes for the most delicious chip dip! Move over ranch, Avocado Green Sauce might just be your new condiment of choice.

Avocado Green Sauce ingredients
5 ingredients, not including oil and salt, is all you need!
Olive oil or avocado oil – such as Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil or Olive Oil. Lime juice – from about 1 medium lime. Fresh herbs – a mix of parsley and cilantro is what I prefer, but feel free to use what you have on hand or growing in your garden. Garlic – one clove for kinda garlicky or 2 for really garlicky. Avocado – choose an avocado that is light softer to touch. Not real soft but just enough where it will blend well. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes – 1/4 tsp. for a subtle kick or a 1/2 tsp. for more of a kick. Sea salt

How to make Avocado Green Sauce
It’s as easy as it gets. In a food processor or blender, add the ingredients and pulse until desired consistency is achieved. I prefer it to be slightly chunky. If you prefer a more smooth-like consistency, similar to a salad dressings, simply blend on low. Looking for a mini food-processor? Here is the one I recently purchased and it works great!
How to store Avocado Green Sauce
Once the sauce is made, simply store it in a glass container or mason jar with lid for up to 5 days. The lime juice that’s added for flavor will also serve a dual purpose (due to its acidic nature) and prevent the avocado based sauce from turning brown.
