Description

Say "adios" to the classic avocado crema and hello to its hipster cousin - vegan avocado crema. This dairy-free condiment is packed with ripe avocados, zesty lime juice, and a dollop of vegan yogurt mixed together with cilantro, a hint of garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Hass avocado
  • 1/2 cup vegan yogurt (substitute with vegan sour cream)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine: Combine all the ingredients in a bullet or blender until well combined.

Notes

Storing this sauce for a short period of time in an air-tight container is fine, but I recommend consuming this sauce fresh. If storing, transfer it to an airtight container, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to limit air exposure, and refrigerate it to keep it fresh for up to 2-3 days.

Adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference and the size of your cloves.
