Coco Cori Sauce
To those of you that don’t do coriander, I’m so sorry, but you can substitute mint or basil or both! This sauce is everything you’d hope to find in a sauce. Sweet, spicy, creamy and pretty much delicious on anything. Sub it for salsa, salad dressing or dip!

Blend together all ingredient until saucily smooth - small chunkiness with nice creaminess.

More Guac
Nothing special here, though I do like to add a pinch of Moringa powder to mine. And a nice tip is to leave the avo seed in with the guac to help preserve the color if letting it sit for a bit.
