A recipe I loved to make with my friend for her meal prep clients. It’s a hard one to lock down a recipe for because there’s so many different version of this based on what you have in your refrigerator. Sour cream, yogurt, or even cream cheese will transform your avocados or leftover guacamole into something delicious. It will also last in your fridge for a few more days than usual.

The key to a good avocado crema is the balance of acidity, salt, and avocado flavor. It’s also to have a good blender or food processor. The creamier this is the better and the longer it will stay good in your fridge.

After this is blended you want to taste for balance. This will take some time to get right, but you should taste salt, then lemon, then avocado.

The sour cream and garlic powder will do the work to flavor your crema. If you are serving for big party, be sure to add extra lime and sour cream to extend your recipe more. It makes such a good dip. It looks like green goddess, but it’s much better than green goddess.

What do you serve with this? I would serve this with chopped up celery, carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, radish, and raw broccoli.
For taco night, put this next to your BYO taco area with the tortilla chips. It’s a great substitute as a finish sauce or even your refried beans.

Try making this when you have leftover guacamole. I hate letting it go to waste when there’s still so much leftover. Repurpose it into this avocado crema with a little dairy and extra lime. It’s that easy.
