Ingredients

2 medium avocados
½ cup Mexican crema or sour cream *Note 1
1 lime, juiced and zested *Note 2
2-4 tbsp finely chopped cilantro *Note 3
1 clove garlic, grated
¼ tsp sea salt + more to taste

Instructions

Add the sour cream, avocado, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, garlic and salt to a blender and mix until well combined. Taste and adjust the ingredients as needed.

Notes

Note 1 - For less "tang" mayonnaise or your favorite Greek yogurt.

Note 2 - Standard limes have approx. 2 tbsp. of juice inside. Make sure to use fresh lime vs bottled lime as the flavor won't be the same.

Note 3 - Start with 2 tbsp, taste and add more as needed. You can always add more, but you can't remove it once added.
