Notes

I used my frozen lime juice, use lemon juice if you prefer.

You can replace buttermilk with half and half if you prefer a creamy sauce that's less tangy. That will add more fat.

Low Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
This amazing Easy Creamy Avocado Sauce with only 3 net carbs in a serving is a great choice for low-carb or Keto diets. If you’re doing extra strict Keto, you may want to use more avocado and less buttermilk. Avocados are considered a “good fat” for the original South Beach Diet, but they’re a limited food, with 1/3 of an avocado being equal to 1 tablespoon of fat (and 2 tablespoons of fat allowed per day.) Since this sauce is mixed with buttermilk, you can eat more of it, but I would limit portion size for South Beach, especially for Phase One.
