Description

An easy-to-make sauce to accompany grilled chicken or to toss with pasta. Sprinkle the pasta with some crumbled feta cheese before serving, if desired.

Ingredients

1 medium avocado, peeled, halved
1 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup (or more) canned chicken broth
4 large garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Place avocado, basil, 1/2 cup broth, garlic and lime juice in blender. Blend until chopped, scraping down sides as needed. With machine running, gradually add oil and blend until smooth. If too thick, gradually add more broth by tablespoons. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead; chill.)
