Amazing 5-minute Avocado Crema
Smooth Avocado Crema (cream sauce) goes perfectly with all your favorite Mexican dishes and comes together in just 5 minutes in the blender!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise not miracle whip
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1/3 cup fresh avocado (about half an avocado)
- 2 Tbsp Hidden Valley Dry Ranch Dressing mix (1 envelope or measure from large container.)
- 1 Tbsp freshly chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 small lime (about 2 Tbsp)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the mayo, sour cream, milk, avocado, dry ranch dressing mix, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down between as needed. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve, at least an hour or two!
Notes
A couple of tips for this recipe:
- I like to mix the sauce early and leave it in the refrigerator for at least an hour or two to let the flavors develop and meld together.
- If you want to turn this crema into a dressing, just add some extra milk until the desired consistency!
- Store the sauce in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. It doesn't turn an icky color green thanks to the lime juice!
