Description

Rich, creamy avocado and nutty tahini meet the zesty tang of freshly squeezed lime to create a decadent dipping sauce packed with flavor and nutrition. The hot, pungent flavors of fresh garlic and jalapeño are balanced out beautifully with the cooling properties of fresh cilantro.

This dipping sauce is easily paired with baked sweet potato fries, used as a topping for burgers, or as a garnish for tacos. The simplicity of this recipe makes it very easy to adjust ingredient ratios according to your taste preference – if it tastes too sour, add more avocado; too spicy, add more cilantro; etc. You may add more or less of each ingredient as you see fit!

Ingredients
  • 1 avocado, pitted and peeled
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1/4 cup juice of 2 limes
  • 1 small jalapeño (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons Pluck Zesty Garlic seasoning
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup filtered water
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Add all ingredients except water to a food processor. Blend until smooth

  2. Step 2

    Gradually add in water to thin out the mixture, adding more or less water until you reach desired consistency.

  3. Step 3

    Serve as a dipping sauce for sweet potato fries, as a topping for burgers or tacos, or more! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. 

    To make sweet potato fries: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut sweet potatoes into half-inch thick sticks or wedges. Toss in avocado oil, salt, and pepper, then bake in the oven for 45-55 minutes (flipping halfway through) until soft and fully cooked. If you desire a crunchier bite, you may broil for 1-2 minutes each side then let cool on a wire rack.
