To take into account!

Some of the most frequent are:

• Use unhealthy vegetable oils such as soy or palm. The main recommendation is to use extra virgin olive oil; otherwise it can be replaced with sunflower oil.
• Exceeded with the use of oils. Avocado, the main ingredient in these sauces, is rich in fatty acids. Therefore, it is not necessary to add a lot of oil to get the expected result.
• Add a lot of salt. Although it can be added according to everyone’s taste, it’s best to avoid excesses. Keep in mind that excessive salt intake is linked to cardiovascular health problems such as high blood pressure.
