Recipe Tips:

Avocados. You need ripe avocados to make avocado sauce. The small avocados (Hass) are the best tasting, in my opinion. The big ones, with bright green skin, are tempting, but they lack flavor. Extra tip: when buying avocados, make sure that the "button" or brown stem piece is still in the avocados; this little guy acts as a seal so that air can't get into the avocado, keeping it fresh.
Oil. Please use a light-tasting oil to make this easy avocado sauce. Vegetable, corn, canola, or avocado oil will work great; olive oil not so much because its taste overpowers the avocado taste.
Customize to your taste. After you process all the ingredients to smooth, taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary, add more salt or lime. If you like the heat, you can substitute the green bell pepper for a jalapeño.
Salt. I recommend adding just one teaspoon of salt at the beginning and then adjusting if necessary.
Lime juice should be fresh.
If you don't have a food processor, you can also make this avocado sauce in a blender.
