This Creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce comes together in just 5 minutes in a blender. Made with avocado, cilantro as a hero ingredient, this sauce is perfect on tacos, burgers, salads, or as a side with chips and vegetables.
This is my absolute favorite sauce for tacos, burgers, sandwich, and as a dip. Creamy avocado cilantro sauce pairs well with grilled meat and fish or simply use it as a salad dressing (just thing it out with little water). Avocado lends a creamy texture while cilantro and lime adds so much flavor and zing to this sauce. You can make it spicy with jalapeño if you like.
