Got creative today with a vegan-friendly vegetable platter full of local & seasonal vegetables. I served my vegetables with delicious and creamy avocado sauce.
My creamy avocado sauce includes avocados, plain yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, cilantro (or other herbs), lime juice, salt, and pepper. It’s similar in flavor to guacamole but creamier and lighter. You can store this avocado sauce for up to 3 days in the fridge.
