Creamy Avocado Bomb Sauce

January 4, 2017 by Amber 31 Comments

Creamy Avocado Bomb Sauce is a dressing, sauce, dip all in one. The original Avocado Bomb Sauce recipe from here at Simply Made Recipes has been a huge hit and we wanted to create a spin off recipe for you all. Creamy Avocado Bomb Sauce is spicy, packed with fresh cilantro and garlic and has a nice creamy base.

Why do we love this recipe?

You can literally use it on everything. Top your fajitas, burrito bowls, eggs, toast, chicken fingers, salads and whatever else you can think of. Our favorite use for Creamy Avocado Bomb Sauce is on top of ground turkey tacos made with ground turkey, cabbage, tomatoes, taco seasoning in a soft tortilla. The sauce replaces the need for guacamole, salsa and sour cream. Also, is a great healthy swap on saladsof a ranch dressing.

Creamy Avocado Bomb Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for around 5 days.

1 avocado
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 jalapeno
3 garlic cloves
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
1/2 fresh squeezed lime
Pinch of salt

Gather ingredients, food processor, sealable container, knife, and cutting board.
Wash ingredients well, especially the cilantro because it can hold in a lot of dirt.
Cut lime and avocado in halves. Remove the avocado seed.
Scoop the avocado from its shell in put into the food processor.
Add 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, 1/2 jalapeno, 3 garlic cloves, pinch of salt and 1/2 bunch of cilantro into food processor. If you do not like heat, remove seeds of jalapeno beforehand. If you want it extra spicy, add an entire jalapeno but be wary because it will have some kick.
Squeeze 1/2 lime into mix. Blend for 3 minutes.
Do a taste test. You may need to add more salt or squeeze more lime depending on your personal taste. If you would like a thinner sauce, for a dressing possibly, add just a touch of water to thin out. Start with a tablespoon of water but the water is not necessary.
Blend another 1-2 minutes.
Pour into a container and eat up!

So I made this last night used plain organic yogurt, used a whole jalapeño but i also added red pepper flakes and a couple twist ground pepper because I didn’t think it was spicy enough for me. Plus a whole lime and a pinch of cumin, after sitting overnight it’s awesome spicy the way I like it, a keeper. Great for veggies (roasted or raw) and seafood such as calamari.

I’ve made this recipe quite a few times and I looooove it!! I switch out the yogurt for sour cream and add a little mayo for more fat (keto). I’ve made it for work potlucks too and there’s never any left. Thank you for the fantastic recipe!

This was a delicious addition to shrimp fajitas. . I added some red pepper flakes and less jalapeño,
as I think the heat can be controlled better. I’ll definitely make this recipe again. Thank you.

This looks amazing! I’m new to avocados, and I’m curious if this dip turns brown in the fridge after a few days or if it’s pretty and green due to the lime juice? I’m eating avocados on everything these days so this will really be a refreshing way to eat it!

  The lime help the sauce from not turning brown. Just place it in a sealable container and keep in fridge. Sometimes the top will get a little brown but it should keep that nice green color for a few days.

  Use a piece of Saran Wrap and press it onto the surface of the sauce, or a half avocado that’s leftover, or your guacamole, then seal the container with lid. Keeping any air off the surface keeps it from browning! Simple, right?

I love this dip. This recipe is simple and delicious. I don’t like avacados plane. Since avocados are a good source of fat in a keto diet, this dip allows me to get those good fats in. I use it as a dip, as a sandwich spread and of course with keto friendly tacos. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
