Avocado and cilantro mayonnaise sauce
Today I want to try new sauce. It looks like this sauce can be good with vegetables, fish and meat.
Avocado and cilantro mayonnaise sauce
~1/2 cup mayonnaise, can also use sour cream or yogurt
1 ripe avocado
1 small bunch of cilantro, leaves only and lightly chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons of lime juice
2-3 tablespoons of Tabasco Green Jalapeño sauce, adjust more or less depending on your spice level preference ( I took 1/2 of fresh Jalapeño)
Salt to taste
Combine all the ingredients in a small food processor or blender, you can start with a small amount of the Tabasco Green Jalapeño sauce and then add more after blending.
Blend or mix until you have a smooth sauce. Taste and adjust the amount of hot sauce as desired.
The sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve.
Соус с авокадо и петрушки
~1.2 чашки майонеза (можно использовать йогурт или сметану)
1 спелое авокадо, очистить от кожицы и коточки
1 маленький пучок петрушки (только зеленые листья)
1 зубец чеснока, очищенного
2 столовые ложки сока лайма или лимона
2-3 столовые ложки Tabasco Green Jalapeño соуса (я использовала 1.2 свежего перца Jalapeño)
Соль по вкусу
Все ингридиенты положить в чашки кухонного комбайна и прокрутить получения однородной массы. Если у вас есть Tabasco Green Jalapeño соус, то сначала положите 2 столовые ложки крепкого соуса. Если Вы хотите более крепкий соус, добавьте больше соуса в конце.
