Ingredients
½ cup yogurt (dairy-free)
2 avocados
1 lime, juiced
A pinch of salt, to taste
¼ cup fresh cilantro (more if desired)
1 teaspoon garlic oil (Costabile Organic)
3 garlic cloves
Avocado oil (optional, for adjusting thickness)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pit.
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor or blender.
- Add the lime juice, garlic, cilantro, garlic oil, salt, and yogurt to the processor.
- Blend everything together until smooth and well-combined.

- You can serve it immediately or refrigerate it until ready to use.
Notes
- Spicy Avocado Lime Crema: Add a jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper to give the crema a spicy kick.
- Cumin Infusion: Try adding a pinch of cumin to give the crema a warm, earthy flavor.
- Dairy-Free Version: Use a dairy-free yogurt or a cashew cream to keep it fully plant-based.
