2 tablespoon (medium) of Avocado Sauce (30 g) has 51 calories. That works out to 170 calories per 100 g. It contains 2.1 g of carbs, 0.6 g of protein, 4.5 g of fat and 1.5 g of fiber. Its 0.4 mg of B5 covers 8% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Avocado sauce is a smooth condiment made by mashing or blending ripe avocado, often with lime or lemon juice, herbs and seasonings. Avocado-based sauces are common in Mexican and other Latin American cooking, though ingredients and consistency vary from one recipe to another.
Its creamy texture and fresh, mild flavour work well with tacos, grilled vegetables, fish, eggs, sandwiches or as a dip. The sauce gets most of its energy from fat and also provides fibre, while offering little protein. For a brighter, lighter-tasting version, add citrus and fresh herbs, and use a modest spoonful as a topping rather than coating the whole dish.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Avocado sauce is usually made with ripe avocado, lime or lemon juice, salt, and a little water or oil. Garlic, herbs, yogurt, or chili are common additions, depending on whether you want a creamy dip or a thinner dressing.
Avocado sauce is usually blended until smooth and pourable, while guacamole is commonly mashed and left chunky. Guacamole often includes chopped tomato and onion; avocado sauce may use water, yogurt, or extra citrus to make it easier to drizzle.
Add lime or lemon juice to avocado sauce, then press plastic wrap directly onto its surface before sealing the container. Refrigerate it promptly; citrus slows browning, but it cannot keep the sauce bright green indefinitely.
Homemade avocado sauce generally keeps for about one to two days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Its color and freshness decline quickly after blending, so discard it if it develops an off smell or unusual appearance.
Yes, avocado sauce can be frozen, though thawing may leave it less smooth or more watery. Freeze it in an airtight container, thaw it in the refrigerator, and stir or blend it again before serving.
Yes, avocado sauce works as a salad dressing when thinned with water, citrus juice, or vinegar. Add the liquid gradually until it coats the greens easily, since a thick dip can otherwise sit in clumps.
Yes, avocado sauce can coat pasta in place of pesto, especially with lemon, garlic, and herbs added. Stir it through just before serving rather than boiling it, which can dull its fresh flavor and color.
Tortilla chips, raw vegetable sticks, crackers, and roasted potatoes all pair well with avocado sauce. It also works as a topping for tacos and grain bowls, so serve it thick for dipping or thin it for drizzling.
Avocado sauce can taste bitter if the avocado is underripe, overripe, or bruised, or if too much raw garlic or herb stem is blended in. Use a ripe avocado and add strong ingredients gradually, tasting as you go.
Yes, you can make avocado sauce without a blender by mashing a ripe avocado thoroughly with a fork. The result will be less silky; finely mince any garlic or herbs and add liquid a little at a time to reach the texture you want.
