Avocado Sauce
Prep Time: 5 mins

Serves 4

This creamy, zesty avocado sauce is a delicious topping for tacos. Make the sauce vegan by

using vegan mayo. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for

up to a day. Reprinted from Simply Julia by Julia Turshen with permission from the publisher.

Ingredients
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and roughly chopped
1 large handful fresh cilantro, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons mayonnaise*
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
1. Place the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, mayonnaise, and salt in the
bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. If your sauce is too
thick, add water, ½ tablespoon at a time, to thin it to your desired
consistency. Season to taste with more salt as needed.
2. If you don't have a food processor, place the avocado, cilantro, lime
juice, mayonnaise, and salt in a medium bowl, and use a fork or
potato masher to mash until the ingredients are combined. If you
prefer a thinner sauce, add water, ½ tablespoon at a time, to thin it to
your desired consistency. Season to taste.

Notes
*You can taste the mayo here, so make sure to use a good one. I
recommend Sir Kensington's Classic Mayonnaise or Avocado Oil
Mayonnaise. Vegan mayo works here too!
