If you aren't a fan of cilantro, you can leave it out! The crema will taste just as delicious without it.
I recommend using fresh lime juice, but bottled juice works as well. If you prefer, you can swap the lime for lemon.
Instead of a garlic clove, you can use ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder.
I tested this recipe with Kite Hill sour cream; another type of creamy dip, like vegan Greek yogurt, should also work.
Storage: Store leftover crema in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. To prevent the avocado from browning squeeze a bit of lime or lemon juice on top of the crema and then add a layer of plastic wrap.
