Magic Green Sauce
A quick and easy sauce for crackers, chicken, chops, pasta, dips, salad dressing, and veggies---raw or roasted. I reduce the parsley/cilantro to ¾ cup and use only ½ teaspoon salt. Some recipes include a bit of sour cream or yogurt. Experiment to suit your taste. It really is magical!
Recipe type: Sauces
Ingredients
- 1 avocado, pitted and chopped

- ½ cup water
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp. salt (add more later, if desired)

Instructions
