Equipment

Immersion Blender (with mini food processor attachment)

Ingredients

½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 avocado peeled and pitted
½ large fresh jalapeno deseeded
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the ingredients: In a small food processor/mixer add the yogurt, and lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Peel the avocado and add it in. Cut the jalapeno half into about 3 smaller pieces to make it easier to blend.
Blend the sauce: Blend for a minute or two or until completely smooth. Serve as you like. Cover and refrigerate.

Notes

No Greek yogurt? Try sour cream instead.
Need to make it vegan? Use vegan yogurt.
Don't like spice? Omit the jalapeno.
Love spice? Add the whole jalapeno.

Storage:

This recipe is best served on the day it's made because as soon as avocado hits the air it starts to brown. To help avoid this you can:

store with a layer of neutral oil on top of the sauce. Pour off the oil before serving and stir the sauce.
press plastic wrap onto the surface of the sauce before storing in the fridge.
