Notes

Greek Yogurt: You can use fat-free, full-fat, or 2% Greek yogurt in this recipe.
How To Zest Lime: Use a zester to zest the green part of the lime. Avoid the pith, the white part, as it is bitter.
Cilantro Substitution: If you don’t like the flavor of cilantro, you can omit it from this recipe. Or, substitute it with fresh basil or flat-leaf parsley.
Make It Vegan: To make this avocado crema vegan and dairy-free, use your favorite plain plant-based yogurt.
Storage: Enjoy this avocado crema after making it while it is fresh. If you have leftover crema, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
