Ingredients

- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/3 cup sour cream (or Mexican crema)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons lime juice (1 large lime)
- 1/8 teaspoon grated garlic (about 1/4 clove)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half, pit it, and scoop both halves into a food processor (or small blender*).
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Store in a covered jar for up to 5 days refrigerated: it stays green without special storage instructions (unlike guacamole).
