Cilantro Avocado Cream

MAKES 1 CUP  - PREP TIME: 5 MINUTES  - COOK TIME: NA

1 avocado, halved and flesh scooped out
2 tablespoons water
3/4 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Put the avocado, water, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a blender and process until very smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl.

COOK’S NOTES:

If you don’t want to haul out your blender or food processor to make the cilantro avocado cream, place all the ingredients in a bowl and mash them together using the back of a fork. It won’t be smooth and creamy, but it will still be yummy.
