Notes
- the Mexican Crema can be substituted by any combination of all or part plain Greek yogurt, sour cream and mayo.
- Refrigerate up to 2 weeks. Freezing is not recommended. If you do freeze, allow to defrost then mix it up to combine.
- We highly recommend making with the jalapeño. It adds the perfect flavor and a little kick of spice
- This is also great with a small handful of cilantro.
- For a quick and convenient dish, use frozen avocado. Make sure to thaw before using.
- I found the best way to thin this dressing is to add a tablespoon of milk at a time. Whisk together until it is the consistency you want. Don't blend it in the blender again, it actually thickens it more.
- We loved eating this on vegan tacos! Try making it with a vegan yogurt substitute to make this a vegan style dish.
- If you need to, use a mixture of sour cream, Mexican Crema, and greek yogurt.
