Ingredients

1 (275 grams) Ripe Avocado sliced in half, skin/pit removed, about one medium
1/2 cup (80 grams) Sour Cream
3 - 5 Pickled Jalapeño Rings to taste
6 sprigs Cilantro bottom ends trimmed
3 teaspoons Fresh Lime Juice
1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
2 - 4 tablespoons Water as needed

Instructions

In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the S blade, add the avocado, sour cream, jalapeño rings, cilantro, lime juice and salt. If you're feeling spicy, add a 1/2 teaspoon of pickled jalapeño pepper brine.
Process the ingredients until creamy and smooth, stopping to scrape down bowl at least once. Taste for salt adjustment and add another 1/8th teaspoon if needed.
To thin your sauce, add a few tablespoons of water with the processor running. Thin to desired consistency.
Transfer to a bowl and serve or to a lidded container. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
