Recipe Test - Avocado Hot Sauce

So I'm kind of on a recipe kick - but not just any recipe kick. Testing out recipes I found in older found cookbooks.  It's somewhat of an amusing hobby!  And beyond that, when they're edible, it's a productive hobby.

This was another of the recipes from the Lakehouse Cookbook.

Avocado Hot Sauce -  here's the recipe:


I told you I'd be making it soon!


Here's how it turned out!



I pretty much followed the recipe...mostly.  I doubled it, added some chopped jalapeno peppers, and extra cilantro.

It turned out a bit thicker than I like, but some more milk would've helped.  I think I would've liked more spice to it too - I put in a jalapeno in addition to the hot sauce, but it wasn't enough.  Those milk products just cool it off.

Would I make it again?  (Doesn't it really just look yummy and refreshing??)



Yes! Great party snack! Not as "green" as guacamole, which some people really don't care for. It's a good way to have avocados without guacamole.

And as testament to it's greatness, that double recipe didn't make it through lunch today.

As to whether it's like Casa Ole's famous green sauce?  Close. But needs some tweaking.  But it was just as dippable and munchable, and goes on any Mexican food.

Have a great day!

  1. I love avacados and am always looking for new ways to eat them. If I can spice them up, I'm on it! Love this dip!
