Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, add the peeled and pitted avocados, plain Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, fresh cilantro leaves, olive oil, and ground cumin.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated for a silky texture.
Season to Taste: Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend briefly to achieve your desired consistency.
Serve or Store: Serve the sauce immediately as a dip or topping, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Notes

This sauce works wonderfully as a dip, taco topping, salad dressing, or sandwich spread.
For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few jalapeño slices during blending.
To keep the sauce from browning, store with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface before sealing the container.
