A smooth, tangy avocado sauce to compliment grilled or pan seared salmon, fish tacos, or shrimp.  It’s light consistency is amazingly addictive.  Consider spreading a tablespoon or two on a plate with the back of a spoon and laying your fillet on top as fancy presentation.  Or use as a dip for grilled shrimp appetizer.  It is very versatile.”
