Avocado Sauce (Mexican Green Sauce)

How to Make the Best Avocado Sauce (Mexican Green Sauce)

This creamy avocado sauce, also known as Mexican green sauce or salsa verde, is a versatile condiment that brings vibrant, fresh flavors to countless dishes. The combination of ripe avocado, fresh cilantro, and zesty lime juice creates a luxuriously smooth sauce that’s both tangy and satisfying.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and adaptability. Whether you prefer a thicker, creamier consistency or a thinner, pourable version, you can easily adjust the water content to suit your needs. The addition of cumin and coriander adds warm, earthy notes, while jalapeños and garlic provide a subtle kick of heat and depth.

Perfect for drizzling over tacos, enchiladas, Buddha bowls, or rice dishes, this avocado sauce works equally well as a dip for tortilla chips or a topping for grilled proteins. Make a batch and keep it in your refrigerator for up to three days for quick, delicious meals throughout the week.
