This vibrant and flavourful vegan sauce comes together in just a few minutes. It combines creamy avocado with fresh parsley, cilantro, and a kick of jalapeño and garlic. Lime juice adds brightness, while pistachios provide a subtle nutty texture. The result is a versatile condiment you can use as a dip for vegetables, a spread for sandwiches, or thinned out into a salad dressing. It yields about 2 cups total.

Ingredients

1 avocado
1 cup packed parsley and cilantro leaves (combined)
1 jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed
2 cloves garlic
juice of one lime (or two – get lots of limey goodness in there!)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pistachios (you can sub other nuts – see FAQs)

Method

Place all the listed ingredients into a food processor, but leave out the pistachios for now. Pulse the mixture until everything is well combined.
Now add the pistachios to the food processor. Pulse again until the sauce reaches your preferred texture, which can be mostly smooth or slightly chunky.
The sauce is ready to enjoy. Use it immediately as a dip or a spread. For a thinner consistency suitable for dressings, blend in a little extra water or olive oil.
