Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Halve ripe avocados and extract the flesh into a food processor, discarding the pits.
- Incorporate sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lime juice, and ground cumin into the avocado.
- Pulse the mixture until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Enhance the flavor profile with precise salt and pepper seasoning, tasting and adjusting accordingly.
- For an aromatic finish, gently fold in finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, distributing evenly throughout the sauce.
- Transfer the creamy dip to a serving bowl or storage container, ensuring a tight seal to maintain freshness.
- Refrigerate immediately if not serving right away, with optimal flavor and texture maintained for up to 48 hours.
Notes
- Prevent browning by adding extra lime juice, which helps maintain the avocado’s bright green color and adds a zesty tang.
- For a dairy-free version, swap sour cream and mayonnaise with coconut yogurt or cashew cream to create a vegan-friendly alternative.
- Adjust consistency by adding water or extra lime juice if the sauce feels too thick, ensuring a smooth, pourable texture perfect for dipping or drizzling.
- Elevate flavor complexity by toasting cumin seeds before grinding, which releases deeper, nuttier undertones and enhances the sauce’s overall aromatic profile.
