The grocery store clearance section is where it’s at. There’s a store near me that sells produce bags for $1, and one of them recently came with 5 avocados.
Anyway, here’s a recipe for avocado sauce – it can be used on tacos, as a sandwich/burger spread, crudité dip, hot and cold noodles, grain bowls, etc. Tonight I made a rice bowl with packet tuna (Tuna Creations Ranch), roasted broccoli, and a fried egg with hot sauce.
- 1 or more avocados
- Sour cream, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or silken tofu
- Minced garlic or jarlic
- Cilantro/oregano, Greek seasoning, Ranch seasoning, or Caesar seasoning (pick one of these, you don’t need all of them)
- Lemon/lime juice
- Salt
- Avocado oil (optional)
- Literally just put everything in a food processor, starting with the avocados, dairy, and seasoning. Add garlic and pulse some more.
- Add lemon or lime juice and salt to taste. Might take a few more pulses.
- For a creamier consistency, you can add a little avocado oil, but it’s fine without. Olive oil might be a bit strong (although who knows!) but a neutral flavored oil is fine. You can also mix in hot sauce (I like Valentina) if you’re going for something a bit tangier.
- Keeps for a few days.
