Serves: makes about 2 cups (8 servings) - serving size ¼ cup

  • 1 avocado

  • 1 cup packed parsley and cilantro leaves (combined)

  • 1 jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • juice of one lime (or two - get lots of limey goodness in there!)

  • ½ cup water

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup pistachios (you can sub other nuts - see notes) but pistachios are best

Pulse all ingredients - except pistachios - in a food processor until incorporated. Add pistachios and pulse until mostly smooth (depends on what consistency you want). Serve as a dip, spread, or sauce -- or add additional water or oil to thin the sauce for use as a dressing or a marinade.
