I have to report that due to the time change, general location, and the suns new freakish position in accordance with my window I am now the proud owner of a soon to be here photo box…Can’t wait till it arrives...and I figure it out (non instruction reader in da'house).
Speaking of this Photo box, I am sitting here envisioning stuffing Indigo in there for good lighting! LOL, not sure if she would cooperate.
More speaking, my husband helped me whip this up for a snazzy dinner last night and we we’re quite happy with the results. This sauce would be mighty good on no less than 3,942.1 things. No, really – we counted!
Delightfully borrowed from the one and only FOR THE LOVE OF COOKING
INGREDIENTS
1 ripe avocado
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
3 cloves of garlic
Sea Salt & Pepper for taste
1-2 tbs of Olive Oil
½ tbs red wine vinegar
Juice from 2 limes
DIRECTIONS
Mix all of your ingredients in a food processor, or like me….I do not have one. I simply chopped it all up and mashed with a potato masher, then transferred to my blender.
Now, time to put hubby to work.. We served this great sauce with sliced sirloin and a side dish of black beans, chopped roma tomatoes, and cheddar cheese.

SO excited to see the results of your photo box! I got a new lens a few months ago to help photograph when I can't use natural light...and I've had mixed results.
Wow, this looks and sounds fantabulous and healthy. Way to go!
Avocado lime sounds like the perfect flavor combination. I could slather than on just about anything.
Yumy yum! That is just a fabulous combo. I can't be to see the reszlt with the photobox!
Cheers,
Rosa
Mmmm. You are making me want to make this dish again - we LOVED the sauce. Thanks for the shout out and link back to my site.
anything with avocado sounds good to me.
I'm with Ami here - I could bathe in Avocado every day of my life! I love it!
This sauce looks great! Dinner looked amazing too!
Congrats on the soon to arrive box!
That looks fabulous and can I say I am terribly jealous of the photo box! I can see trying to squish Indigo in there but you are probably right..she may not cooperate. :)

I just left this long comment about lighting and oops forgot to put the password in. Duh. I am just too tired. What I was going to say... Despite your frustration with the lighting. I thought your pics here were cool. And I did not know about photo boxes so I am off to check em out.
This sounds fantastic! I love avocados and can only imagine that this would be wonderful on so many things :) Can't wait to see the results of the photo box! I'm incredibly jealous...baking and photographing after work is such a struggle now!
I hate avocados but you always make your food look so good!
xo
My Dad is working on a light box for me too - I hate it getting dark so early! I like your pictures here - they look mysterious and kind of sexy. Your dinner is crazy delicious looking!
aaagh! Im in the PacnW and the constant rain+dark nights has hubs building me a light box too!!! Mmm your sauce looks amazing, and I think that I could come up with AT LEAST 4,000 uses!
I'm wanting a light box! Can't wait to see what you think of yours. That sauce is delish!
Sounds delicious! We would both love it!
This sounds so tasty! And I actually love the darkness in the photos...it's fun- 'specially w/ your cool table and the black flower...love it! But I am jealous that you're getting a light box. I have to put the hubs to work making me one....
I saw this recipe on Pam's site too....now here...it must be a sign that I need to make this!!
How exciting about the photo box too... I'll just tell you know, I'm totally envious!! :)
What a great sauce...and amazing flavors.
PS...what is a photo box?
C Family - A Photo box is a great way to *light* your pics. It is an enclosed white box with side lighting to really enhance pictures with quality lighting. You place and object inside of it and it gives great lighting even if pitch black surrounds it.
I have been wanting to get a photo box...someday.
Your sauce sounds so yummy. Love, love that you put it on sirloin. I think even my kiddies would love this. I have been trying to think of things to fix for dinner for the rest of the week. Thanks for giving me dinner number one:)
Your light box will no doubt help you a great deal, Jen! I'd explain to you what I do for good lighting at night, but it might take a while - Good news is that it's CHEAP and it works! This lime sauce, however, still looks absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Great another sauce to get addicted to! lol
Did I tell you I made the Chimichurri Sauce and served it over london broil? We loved it. The kids mixed it into their mash potatoes & dipped focaccia into it! They're pretty smart aren't they?

love it when the guys are in front of the bbq!!!
sounds sooooo good! i love anything with avacado, mmmm.
Yummy sauce!! Great recipe..
I'm so hungry right now and this looks absolutely delicious! What's better than grilled steak smothered in a tasty sauce?!? I'll have to try this out!!
i wish I had a photo box!!! i am so jealous... this time change gig has thrown me, my cooking and my already weird looking photos for a loop!
that looks like an amazing meal!

I always feel welcomed when I come to a blog for the first time and see a picture of a grill.
Excellent looking plate, even without a light box....just yet:)
I need a photo box myself! I can't wait to see yours...and the photos that follow! This looks like a wonderfully flavorful AND simple meal. My favorite! Thank you for sharing and have a beautiful day tomorrow!
Love your photos. And what a great sauce! Well done my dear.
Great recipe!!! Keep us posted about the light box.
Love your picture and that delicious meal. I am new to photo box, might like to get one.
You know I owe my newfound love of avocados to you, right? You created avocado monsters in my house. LOVE. And photo box?? Amazing. I never thought to get one. But that would be pretty sweet. Report back on how it works!!
Okay...this sauce sounds like some addictive stuff! Love it.
Congrats on the photo box. I'm going through a similiar situation with the time change, change in lighting, etc. Been thinking about ordering a photo box myself.
I hear you - the sun kind of messes up food photography this time of year, doesn't it? This sauce is something we'd love - and I can think of so many great things it could go on!
