A smooth, creamy, and zesty avocado salsa made with fresh herbs, lime juice, and a hint of heat—perfect as a dip, topping, or sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper (seeded if less heat is desired)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 2–4 tbsp water (to adjust consistency)

Instructions

  1. Scoop out the avocado flesh and place it in a blender or food processor.
  2. Add the cilantro, chopped onion, garlic, and chopped jalapeño or serrano pepper.
  3. Pour in the lime juice and olive oil, if using.
  4. Add salt and blend until smooth, adding water gradually to reach the desired consistency.
  5. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
  6. Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.

Notes

  • Use serrano peppers for more heat.
  • Add tomatillos for a tangier, brighter salsa.
  • Pulsing the blender results in a chunkier texture.
  • Add Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and tang.
  • Store with plastic wrap pressed to the surface to prevent browning.
