Notes

Substitutions
Dairy free sour cream- I love using the Kite Hill brand of dairy free sour cream, which makes this recipe Whole30 and Paleo friendly. You could also use coconut yogurt, dairy free greek yogurt, or cashew cream.
Garlic- If you don't have fresh garlic you can use garlic powder you can use ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
Jalapeno- Adding half of a jalapeno adds a nice flavor and not a ton of heat. You can leave this out altogether or if you like a spicy creamy sauce then you can add the whole jalapeno.
Tips
  • Food processor size? Any size will work! I use a regular sized one, but a mini one would be perfect for this recipe.
  • Want an easy drizzle? Add the cream to a squeeze bottle to easily drizzle over your favorite dishes.
    Storing
    Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4–5 days. Avocados do what avocados do… they brown. To slow it down, I press a piece of plastic wrap or parchment right against the surface before I pop the lid on. Lime juice helps too, so don’t leave it out. If it thickens up a little after a day or two, just stir it around and it’ll smooth right back out.
