Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large limes, zested and juiced
1 medium ripe avocado (pitted and flesh scooped)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed (for more heat, keep a few (or all!) of the seeds)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 medium clove garlic
1/4 cup raw cashews
1 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1 cup water (+ more until you reach your desired thickness)

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a food processor or high-powered blender. Note for those using a lighter blender: I recommend soaking the cashews in boiling water for 20 minutes first and mincing the garlic before adding it.
  • Blend until entirely pureed, about one minute.
  • Add more water, a couple tablespoons at a time, until the sauce is as thin as you want. Some people like more of a sour cream consistency with their crema, I like mine a smidge thinner so that I can drizzle it easily.
  • Taste and add more salt if desired.
