Tara’s Tips For Perfect Creamy Spinach Avocado Sauce:
- Use fresh spinach! Frozen spinach will absolutely not work here. Save the frozen spinach to sauté it! (How To Saute Frozen Spinach)
- Make sure your avocado is ripe enough. If your avocado is too hard, it will not blend correctly!
- Adjust salt + pepper when done blending to your taste. I like things a little spicy, so I add extra red pepper flakes at the end. You do you!
- Blend with HOT water. The makes the sauce just the right temperature to pour right onto your pasta without having to heat it up.
- If you have any leftovers (if!), they will only be good for one day. Remember, this sauce is made with an avocado so it will brown.
- Want to make this more like a pesto? Toss in 1/4 cup of walnuts or pine nuts + 2 tbsp nutritional yeast.
- Need a cold avocado sauce for a salad? Try this recipe: Creamy Vegan Avocado Dressing (No Oil!).
