Cooking Tools Required

Blender, Sharp Knives

Ingredients

1 avocado ripe, skin and pit removed
½ cup fresh cilantro packed, leaves and stems
½ cup Italian parsley packed, leaves and stems
1 lime juiced and zested
2 clove garlic roughly chopped
2 tablespoon water
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 jalapeno pepper seeds and stem removed - save the seeds
½ tablespoon agave Optional - or maple syrup or other type of sweetener, all work

Instructions

Place avocado, cilantro, parsley, lime, garlic, water, oil, salt, jalapeno, and sweetener of choice in a food processor or high speed blender. Blend until fully combined.
Taste and adjust flavor based on preference. To make it spicier, add in the jalapeno seeds and blend again.
Serve with chips, quesadillas, Buddha bowls, or anything else you can think of.

NOTES

If you are skipping the sweetener altogether, err on the side of less spicy to start. The sweetness balances out the spicy heat from the jalapeno. If you don't love spicy food and you're omitting the sweetener, start with 1/2 jalapeno.
