Why we ❤️ it
- Avocado is one of my favorite ingredients, a popular side dish in our kitchen, inexpensive, and widely available.
- This avocado dipping sauce with sour cream is the perfect avocado sauce for empanadas.
- My favorite part is that the sour cream keeps the avocado from blackening, and this creamy avocado sauce has lasted over 24 hours without spoiling or changing color.

Preparation

Blend the ingredients in a blender, taste, and season with more salt if necessary.
2. Serving
- Serve with your favorite picadera. Refrigerate if not serving immediately.
Top tips
- Substitutions: If you don't have garlic salt, mix ¼ teaspoon salt with ¼ teaspoon garlic powder.
Other possible alterations are to use onion powder instead of garlic if you don't like the taste of garlic. You can add some hot chili flakes if you want a touch of spice.
You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a thicker sauce with a creamy texture. - Consistency: There are two possible ways to make this sauce: blend it until it is very smooth and has a creamy consistency, or leave it with a little texture.
- Storing: For storage, place in an airtight container, place a piece of plastic wrap touching the avocado crema dip, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Storing for longer will affect the flavor and texture.
- Vegan version: If you're looking for a vegan, dairy-free version, you'll love this avocado mayo flavored with garlic and lime juice (or lemon juice).
Serving suggestions
This is a great way to have some appetizers or have snack ready in little time and with few ingredients.

What is garlic sauce? I see garlic salt in the note but no sauce.
The notes were correct, and there was a typo in the list, it's garlic SALT. Thanks for letting me know.
