Avocado sauce
Avocado sauce is a sauce prepared using avocado as a primary ingredient.[1] Commercial sauces are typically prepared to have a thin, sauce-like consistency that is pourable.[1][2] Popular brands include Kumana and Herdez.[1]
Preparation[edit]
Commercial preparation involves mixing the avocado using high-speed blenders, which breaks up the pulp.[1] Spices, water and emulsifiers are added, and the resultant product is then typically frozen to prevent browning. Additional ingredients in avocado sauce can include tomatillo, onion, chili peppers, cilantro, pepper and garlic.[2][3]
One possible preparation of homemade avocado sauce can be made by blending yogurt, avocado, lemon juice, vegetable oil, crushed garlic, sugar, cumin, seasoning salt and red pepper sauce.[4]
Uses[edit]
Avocado sauce is used as an ingredient and topping for meat dishes and dishes such as fajitas, taquitos and tacos, among others.[2][5][6]
