Renee's Green Sauce

What You'll Need:

4-5 Avocados
16 oz Sour Cream
1* 10oz can Rotel(your choice of flavor combo...I normally go with Cilantro and Lime)
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 4oz can Green Chili Peppers
2 Tsp* salt
3 Tbsp* Lemon Juice
3 oz* Cream Cheese
1* Bundle of Cilantro
If you want the green sauce to be spicy, you'll also need a few pickled jalapenos
Blender/hand blender(if using a regular blender, you may have to do 2-3 different blends...hand blenders work best!)
Spoon
Sharp Knife
Large Air Tight Container

* I use more. With the salt: i add more towards the end, taste it, add more if it needs it...but everyone has different taste buds. I think the extra salt brings the flavors out more. With the Lemon Juice: i think the extra adds a little bit of flavor(before it was used just to keep the avocados from browning) So i add just a little bit at a time at the end(maybe 1 tbsp at a time). Too much will ruin the yummyness and make it a Green Lemon Sauce which isn't too yummy in my opinion! With the Cream Cheese: I have recently been adding the full 8 oz block and it doesn't change the flavor to me and it's cheaper to buy the 8 oz block than it is the 3 oz block! But, taste it with the 3 oz before adding the 8 oz. Some people might be able to taste a difference. With the Rotel: I sometimes use 2 cans. it makes it a little bit thinner and have a little bit more of a tomato flavor! With the Cilantro: I use anywhere from one bundle to 3 bundles. I love the flavor it gives, but again every ones taste buds are different. Start with one, if you think it could use more, add another and so on!

What You'll need to do:

Cut the Avocado in half! Take the seed out, and then using the spoon, gently remove the avocado from the peel. Add it to your container/blender.

Tip: If you don't know how to tell if an avocado is ready to use, here's how i know... Pick up the avocado in one hand. GENTLY press on it. If it Squishes, it's too far gone... if it's hard as a rock, it isn't ready yet(but will be in a day or 2)... if it's firm but can mush with gentle pressure, it's PERFECT(but needs to be used asap!)!

                   Next, you'll need to add all of the ingredients, except the cilantro, to the container! 

You may find this step funny, but in order to truly appreciate the cilantro, you have to smell it! I smell it about 10 times before it ever makes it into the container! If they had a cilantro candle, I'd be in heaven! Cilantro is just the perfect herb!

Tip: Cilantro and Parsley look A LOT alike. How do i know how i picked the right one before looking at the tag? By Smelling it! To me, parsley doesn't have a smell!

Next, you'll need to rinse the cilantro(do not take it out of the rubber band!!). After it's rinsed, take one hand and place it around at the rubber band and take your other hand and place it about 1/2 inch above the rubber band. Then twist in opposite directions with a little bit of pressure.

The top half should easily come off. If not, just take a knife and chop it off! Anything below the rubber band will be thrown away! Anything above the rubber band with be added to the container!

And then comes the fun part! Blend it until there are no more chunks and it is smooth! You will have to scrape the sides/bottom a few times to make sure that everything gets blended together! After it's all blended, taste it and add the extra ingredients IF you think they are needed and then blend them in as well!

The end product goes great with thin restaurant style tortilla chips! You can even try it on your favorite Mexican dish, or even on a baked potato! It goes well with a lot of things!
It does make a good bit, so it is great for parties. Keep it refrigerated and eat all of it within 4-5 days. It will slowly start to turn brown and it will start to taste funny if eaten after that!

I hope you like it! Please send me your feedback!

Until Next Time!
