Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups basmati rice
- Kosher salt
- 1 small avocado, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
- 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Bring the rice, 3 cups water, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, stir, cover, and cook until water is completely absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the avocado, basil, lemon juice, oil, and 1/4 cup water in the jar of a blender and puree; season generously with salt and pepper. Add more water and puree until the mixture is the consistency of sour cream.
Fluff the rice with a fork and gently fold the green dressing into the warm rice. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve immediately.

seriously! Claire needs to BOTTLE this stuff up! creamy, silky and phenomenal. Its so good but you MUST add Cilantro with the basil. As I stated, I used half basil half cilantro. Also added a small chopped garlic clove with just a few sprigs of chive (I literally added maybe 4 little sprigs also used chicken stock instead of water. THIS IS SO YUMMY! I made it with the rice then I made it again an used only baked chicken breast. It was to die for! I will NEVER forget this recipe its TOO easy and TOO good.

We love this in our house. Even my hubby who doesn't like avocado. I usually cilantro and lime, but the original basil and lemon is good too!

This was awesome. I used cilantro instead of basil, and I added one clove of garlic. I also used it with quinoa instead of rice to make it healthy. It was creamy and perfect...could be used as a dip, sauce, or spread!
