Instructions

• Place the avocado (peeled, pitted, roughly chopped), chopped cilantro, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add about half of the 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice and about half of the 3 tablespoons mayonnaise.
• Process until mostly smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape down the bowl and pulse again until you reach an even texture.
• If the sauce is still thicker than you want, add the remaining lime juice and mayonnaise from the measured amounts a little at a time, processing between additions, until you reach your preferred consistency. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• If you don’t have a food processor: put the avocado, cilantro, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt in a medium bowl. Add about half the lime juice and half the mayonnaise, then mash with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
• Stir in the remaining measured lime juice and mayonnaise as needed to loosen the sauce to your desired consistency. Serve immediately.
