For a smoother sauce, ensure your avocados are very ripe. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a tablespoon or two of water or chicken broth while processing. This sauce is best served immediately. If making ahead, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce to prevent browning. Experiment with adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. Consider adding a small handful of spinach or kale to the food processor for an extra boost of nutrients and vibrant green color.
