Creamy Vegan Avocado Sauce (raw)
I wasn’t planning on posting this creamy vegan avocado sauce, because it was just a quick meal I threw together when I was hungry and wanted something NOW! It’s so creamy and delicious though, and it’s also raw and very healthy. Another bonus is that it comes together super fast, so I thought you might enjoy this recipe.
It only takes about 15 minutes to put together, and that’s including clean up!
So it happened this way… I came home starving, and really didn’t feel like taking the time to cook something. I had a couple of overripe avocados, fresh spinach and arugula, plus some fresh herbs, so I threw them all into my food processor. Then I folded the sauce into some leftover pasta, along with a few ripe tomatoes. I’m actually really proud of myself for putting together a healthy meal, instead of stuffing my face with something not so healthy.
I’m also happy how quickly it came together with little clean up. This is always a HUGE plus for me!
Pickled jalapeños gives a nice little kick to the creamy mildness of the sauce. Although next time I’ll leave out the fresh garlic, because that was a bit too strong. I might also add pine nuts, but everything else was perfect.

This is an easy recipe to change around. You can adjust the ingredients to fit whatever dish you use it with. Fresh basil and and maybe oregano would be great in it, and you could mix it into zoodles along with a side of garlic bread. Adding cilantro and lime would make a great sauce for Mexican stuffed sweet potatoes. Slathered on black bean burgers would be a dreamy combination too.
I tried it on ramen and really liked it. Lotus foods makes healthy ramen, and I keep a variety on hand for quick meals. (This isn’t an ad. I love their products, and I appreciate when others recommend what they use.)
BTW, right after I snapped this quick photo, I went to drizzle some sauce on the salad… and well, let’s just say that someone is a huge klutz! 🙈😅 It still tasted excellent on everything else too! haha
