Creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce

This magical Creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce is finger-licking delicious. It takes just 5 minutes to make in a blender and is perfect on tacos, burgers, salads, or as a side with chips and vegetables.

This sauce has become my new favorite! It’s so creamy and delicious on anything. You can call it creamy avocado sauce, guacamole sauce, avocado cilantro crema, or just a magical green sauce you can use on literally anything!

We love this sauce for its fresh, vibrant ingredients – avocados, cilantro, garlic, lime and a little spice from the jalapeños. Add sour cream or Greek yogurt to increase the creaminess of this Avocado Crema. 

Avocados are my absolute favorite. Their creamy texture helps to not need much other creaminess to the dip. You guys….this is the best avocado sauce for tacos.

You can serve this as a dip at a party with chips or add it to literally anything Mexican. It tastes wonderful.

You can also thin this sauce with a little water and use it as a salad dressing!

• Creamy Green Onion Dip

How to Make Creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce?

This Avocado Jalapeno Crema sauce is the easiest to make. All you need is a few basic ingredients and a food processor or blender.

• Gather all the ingredients: avocado, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, lime, olive oil, salt, pepper, and sour cream. You can also use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
• Remove the seeds and membranes of the jalapeño and reserve them in case you want to up the spice later. You can also add thin stems of the cilantro when making this sauce.

• Add all of the ingredients to the blender or food processor.

• Blend to make a smooth sauce. You can make it completely smooth or leave it a bit chunky—it is your choice. We like our sauce not to be completely smooth.

• That is it! Your creamy avocado sauce is ready to be enjoyed.
• You can also taste and adjust the spiciness by adding more jalapeño seeds. Or use spicier peppers instead of jalapeños to make this a spicy avocado sauce!

You can make this sauce right before serving or a day before. A good amount of lime juice helps to keep it fresh, even the next day.

You will definitely love this sauce much more than store-bought dips. It is so fresh and flavorful, making it at home in just 5 minutes, means you can adjust the ingredients to your taste.

Can I use this Avocado Sauce as a Salad dressing? 

Yes, you can thin the sauce with a little water while blending to get a slightly thinner consistency, and it is perfect for use as a salad dressing.

Can I make substitutions? 

What I love about making these sauces and dips at home is that I can vary them to my family’s taste.

• Don’t like cilantro? – Substitute cilantro with basil or parsley.
• Want to make it healthier? – Use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream in this crema.
• Thicken the sauce? Add more avocado or sour cream for a vegetable dip.
