"Simple to make, versatile in use and complex in flavor, guasacaca sauce is one of the wonderful condiments of Venezuelan cuisine Creamy from the addition of avocado with a bright and tangy herb and lime base, it makes an evocative pairing for any vegetarian, seafood or meat dish Here, it accompanies a sheet-pan dinner of roasted chicken and carrots but will do just as well with anything from the grill...."
