Vegan Basil Avocado Sauce

Thick, creamy garlic avocado sauce with a hint of lemon. Great tossed with whole grain noodles or as a spread for sandwiches or veggie sliders.

Overview

Note: If your Blendtec doesn’t feature a Sauces/Dips/Dressings/Batters button, blend on a Medium to Medium-Low speed for 30 seconds.

You can make this in a WildSide+ jar by increasing the ingredients 1.5 or 2 times.

does this have to use the 4 sided jar or can i get away with using the 5 sided jar?
thanks

You can usually use the bigger jar instead if it calls for the four side. I only have wildside jars and use them for everything! You just can’t go the other way…if a recipe calls for the wildside, it likely won’t fit in the fourside. Hope that helps!

You can use the WildSide+ jar, you’ll just want to increase the recipe by 1.5 or 2 times. :)

I just got my Blendtec and am not a cook but follow a no meat/no dairy/no oil eating program so am having to start cooking. Would I be able to take this recipe and just leave out the oil? That’s what I’ve done with most other recipes.

Hi Lynn, congratulations on your new Blendtec! We haven’t tried this recipe without oil and would usually suggest substituting it with another oil – (flaxseed oil, avocado oil, etc.) or butter but since you’re not eating dairy or oil and you’ve had success with leaving it out of other recipes, you should probably do just that! If you try it, let us know how it turns out!
