1–2 ripe avocados (creamy base and nutrients)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or lemon juice, to add tang and prevent browning)
2 tablespoons olive oil (helps create that classic emulsion of oil + avocado, giving mayo-like texture)
1 small garlic clove (optional, adds depth)
¼ teaspoon salt + pinch of black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess; leave out for a vegan avocado sauce)
Cilantro leaves (optional, for a fresh avocado cilantro lime sauce twist)
