A super simple avocado sauce you can throw on just about anything, this Spicy Avocado Lime Sauce comes together in less than a minute and is paleo, Whole30, and vegan!
If you have followed ETG for some time, you know my food revolves around sauces. Whether it be with carrot fries, on meatballs, or just an easy dressing – I love sauces. Meat and veggies are good, but can get a little old after awhile. I am always making sauces to pair with them so I never get bored! What I make usually changes on a daily basis depending on what I have on hand, but I figured I would share one that can go with just about anything.
And what else goes with everything other than avocado. From breakfast all the way to dessert, avocados are so versatile. They are also loaded with healthy fats that help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes. Along with those healthy fats comes fiber, folate, vitamin A, and beta-carotene!
I blended the avos up with some of my favorites ingredients to make this creamy sauce. The other players in the game are cilantro, coconut milk (for extra creaminess), lime juice, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and a little water. If you are one of those people that don’t like cilantro, you could leave it out or substitute parsley.
With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, this spicy avocado sauce can go with just about anything you plan on eating! Whether it be fish tacos, stuffed peppers, or just with chips and salsa. I’ve been adding it to my eggs in the morning, in my collard wraps, and on whatever else I am eating. If you have ever saved an avocado before, you know they get brown. While this sauce does turn a little brown after a few days, it still tastes great.

Sheila Russell says
Hi can I freeze the sauce as I have lots of ripe avocados that need using up!!
Kelly says
Hey Shelia – yes, I think that would work just fine. It might get a little brown on the top where air can get to it, but the flavor should still be there. Let me know how it goes if you do!
Brown tiny says
What spice? from the pepper flakes?!!!!
Kelly says
Yes, the red pepper flakes add some heat, but you can add some more if you like it more spicy. As it sits, it gets spicier.
Ros B. says
Hi! Hubby’s allergic to coconut. Any suggested alternatives for coconut milk? I’m super excited to try this recipe.
Kelly says
Hey Ros! The coconut milk adds a good creaminess to it, but I am thinking you can use any kind of milk (almond, cashew…), but maybe just use a little less of it since those aren’t as thick. I would start with 1/4 cup and add from there. Hope that helps!
Diana says

Kelly says

Mary says
Made this earlier today. When I first tasted it, I was a bit underwhelmed. BUT!!! 6 hours later: I used some on my salad and it is amazing!! just a subtle bit of heat from the flakes- Needless to say, I’ll be using it all week
Kelly says
Aw yay, so glad to hear that Mary! I find that once sauces sit for a little, the flavors are really enhanced!
Rachael @ Rachael's Foodie Life says
this sauce sounds amazing Kelly! i am so excited that i can eat it while doing the whole30!!!!! how ling will it keep in the fridge?
Kelly says
Yay! It will last for a week or so! It turns a little brown on top, but you can just scrape that off! I hope you enjoy 🙂
Emily says
I LOVE those sauces that you can put on almost everything; it looks so creamy. I might add less spice, because i have a very wimpy mouth, but the texture and flavor sounds so good.
Kelly says
Me too! I am all about a good sauce! You can def hold off on the spice some, I just add spice to everything since I love spicy haha!
