4 avocados, skin and pit removed
1 cup loosely packed cilantro
2–3 jalapeños or serranos (seeds removed if you prefer less spice)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 ½ teaspoons salt
⅔ cup + 3 tablespoons water (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

Prepare ingredients: Remove the skin and pits from the avocados and loosely pack the cilantro. Mince the garlic and prepare the jalapeños or serranos by removing seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.
Blend the sauce: Place avocados, cilantro, jalapeños, lime juice, garlic, salt, and water into a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix. Blend until the sauce reaches your desired smooth and creamy consistency.
Adjust seasoning: Taste the sauce and re-season with additional salt or lime juice if necessary to balance flavors.
Serve or store: Serve immediately as a dip or sauce or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To prevent browning, squirt extra lime juice on top before sealing. Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Remove jalapeño or serrano seeds to reduce spiciness if preferred.
Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and apply extra lime juice on top to prevent browning.
