Healthy Avocado Cilantro Sauce
This Avocado Cilantro green sauce is low-carb, vegan, and gluten-free. It has the simplest ingredients yet it is healthy and bursts with flavor and vitamins.
I love drizzling it over steak, lathering it onto my favorite air fryer breaded chicken dish, and air-fried pork chops, or scooping it up with chips and veggie platters. Your taste buds will thank you for introducing them to this unique and delicious addition.
Ingredients
This recipe makes approximately 10 oz (300 ml).
- 1 Ripe Avocado
- 1 cup of mixed Parsley and Cilantro (packed)
- Squeezed juice of 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon of Himalayan Pink salt (this is what I was using, you can also use sea salt)
- ½ cup Olive oil
- 4-5 cloves garlic
- ½ cup water
- Optional ingredient – ¼ cup of Pistachio nuts or other nuts of your choice
How to Make Avocado Cilantro Lime Sauce
- Add all ingredients (except nuts) into your blender or food processor. I used my Ninja Blender/Food Processor Combo.
- Blend it for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth.
- Add nuts and blend it again for another minute until smooth. That’s it. The sauce is done! Pour the sauce from the blender into a bowl and start enjoying it while it’s fresh and bursting with flavor and vitamins.
- Pro tip: Use a large silicone spatula to help scrape the sauce easily from the walls of the blender.
Storage
This avocado cilantro lime dressing is best consumed within a day or two but you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Store the Avocado Cilantro sauce in a ceramic bowl or a glass jar in the refrigerator, covered. I used a wide-mouth glass Mason Jar to store it. The trick is to get your cilantro guac to the fridge before the oxygen has a chance to brown it up. But worry not, the sauce has lime juice, which serves as a natural preservative to avocado and keeps it from browning.
Tip: The sauce is even better the next day because the sauce gets thicker.

Wow this looks incredible!! I can not wait to try it!
Let me know what you think after you try to make it.. It is so quick, easy, only 5 min. let me know what you think of the taste
It is delicious!
I live alone and wouldn’t be able to use the entire recipe in 3-4 days. Could it be frozen?
HI Alice. I could say that it could be frozen, not for a long time though. I’m not sure how avocado holds up frozen. Definitely better if fresh. Another suggestions fro your is to cut the ingredients in recipe in half that way you can be enjoying it fresh. Good luck
You need writewrite a book. Researche! Next give you publishers tnx xgikormgina

So yummy Esp with 1/4 -1/2 jalepeno, depending on the hotness factor.
Trying to get the consistency more combines and so far no luck using my cuisinart or hand immersion blender.
Hum….. any ideas?
Great question! If the sauce isn’t coming together smoothly, try adding a little more liquid—either lime juice, a splash of water, or even a bit of olive oil—to help it blend better. Also, make sure your avocado is really ripe, and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Let me know if that helps! 😊
