Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, tightly packed

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version)

2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1-2 cloves garlic, minced (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

2-3 tablespoons water (to adjust consistency)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender.

    Add Ingredients: To the same food processor, add the fresh cilantro, Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

      Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on the food processor and blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is combined.

        Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, and blend until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

          Chill: For the best flavor, transfer the sauce to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve your creamy avocado cilantro sauce as a dip for vegetables or chips, a dressing for salads, a topping for tacos, or a sauce for grilled meats and fish!
