Avocado Sauce

Guacamole by another name. Make it in the five minutes before you eat.

5 min Easy Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 2 avocados
  • 2 small tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Mash the avocado with a fork, not a blender. Texture is the point.
  2. Everything else stirred in.
  3. Make this immediately before serving. It browns within half an hour, and the lemon only slows that down.

Questions people ask about Avocado Sauce

How long does Avocado Sauce take?

About 5 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.

What can I use instead of tomato in Avocado Sauce?

Use canned chopped tomatoes, roughly 1 can per 4 fresh. Add a pinch of sugar to offset the acidity.

Can I make Avocado Sauce ahead of time?

You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.

Is Avocado Sauce vegetarian?

Yes, and as written it is vegan too. Check your specific brands if that matters to you.

How long does home-made avocado sauce keep?

Two or three days refrigerated. Anything with avocado in it is a same-day job, because it browns within the hour.
