Chef Notes

  • Avocado serves as the foundation, providing a silky pourable green sauce packed with flavour. 
  • Avocado acts as a natural emulsifier with no oil or dairy required. It’s versatile and great for fast-paced service. 
  • The sauce is versatile and can be applied to a variety of other dishes including grilled seafood, tostadas, burritos, chicken wings or salads.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe Australian avocados
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 limes, juiced
