Ingredients

Scale
Green Sauce:
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup packed parsley and cilantro leaves (combined)
- 1 jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed
- 2 cloves garlic
- juice of one lime (or two – get lots of limey goodness in there!)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Add Later:
- 1/2 cup pistachios (you can sub other nuts – see FAQs)
Instructions
- Pulse all ingredients – except pistachios – in a food processor until incorporated. This creates the base of the sauce.
- Add pistachios and pulse until mostly smooth (depends on what consistency you want). This adds texture and nuttiness to the sauce.
- Serve as a dip, spread, or sauce — or add additional water or oil to thin the sauce for use as a dressing or a marinade. Adjust consistency to your preference.
Notes
- You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less jalapeno.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
