What is avocado sauce made of?

I make this quick and easy Creamy Avocado Sauce with ripe avocados, sour cream, fresh cilantro, and freshly squeezed lime juice. It is simple, delicious, and the perfect addition to your favorite taco recipe!

Does avocado sauce turn brown?

Thanks to the fresh lime juice, your avocado sauce will not turn brown! Avocados turn brown once exposed to air, but adding lime juice prevents that from happening. The lime juice also adds a ton of fresh, bright flavor to this sauce!

How do you preserve avocado sauce?

Seal it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge! It's just that easy! Avocado sauce kept this way will last up to five days. Give it a stir when you take it out of the fridge because the lime juice will separate from the sauce.

Can I make this avocado sauce vegan?

Yes! Just sub vegan sour cream in place of the regular sour cream and you've got a creamy avocado sauce that is totally vegan!

Notes

Use fresh lime juice if possible. Bottled lime juice will work in a pinch (and I’ve used it many times) but if you can squeeze fresh lime juice that will give you the best flavor!

Season to taste with salt. I like to add a pinch of salt when adding the ingredients to the food processor. And then I taste it after it’s all blended together and add a bit more salt. The ingredients in this sauce are SO simple that salt is going to go a long way to boost the flavors!
