Tree Nut Free Avocado Herb Cream
Creamy, vibrant, and packed with fresh herb flavor, this blended avocado sauce is the kind of thing you'll want to put on absolutely everything. Ripe avocados form the silky base, while cilantro, parsley, and chives bring a bright, garden-fresh punch that no store-bought dressing can match. A hit of lemon juice keeps the color gorgeous and the flavor lively, and a drizzle of olive oil ties it all together into something genuinely luxurious. If you like a little heat, the optional jalapeño adds just enough kick without overwhelming the herbaceous character of the cream. The whole thing comes together in under two minutes of blending, and you can dial in the consistency with a splash of water until it's exactly right — thick and spoonable or loose enough to drizzle. It's naturally free from tree nuts without any substitutions or workarounds, just clean, whole ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Use it as a dip, a sauce for grilled proteins, a spread for wraps, or a dressing for grain bowls — honestly, the possibilities are hard to stop thinking about.
