Living in Japan, there are times that we miss certain foods or tastes from back home. For me, avocado is one of these refreshing tastes I like to revisit now and then. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a super fast and simple recipe for those tiring days where you just want to whip up a quick dinner. Summer is here and this sauce is also great cold!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n P.S. You can find avocados at your supermarket or local veggie vendor at around \u00ef\u00bf\u00a5100 -\u00ef\u00bf\u00a5200.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yield: 2~3 servings mixed in with pasta<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1 clove Garlic<\/p>\n 4-6 Basil leaves (I suggest buying a basil plant at the start of the season & saving the seeds for next year)<\/p>\n 1-2 Tbsp Lemon juice (about \u00c2\u00bd a small lemon)<\/p>\n 1 Tbsp Olive Oil<\/p>\n 1 Ripe Avocado (peeled & pitted)<\/p>\n Salt & Pepper to taste<\/p>\n Extra liquid (water, milk, soymilk, etc.) in case the sauce is too thick<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. Pulse the basil<\/b> and garlic clove<\/b> in a blender to mince.<\/p>\n 2. Add olive oil<\/b>, avocado<\/b>, and lemon juice<\/b>. Blend till well mixed.<\/p>\n 3.
