Alternatively, finely mince the parsley, cilantro and garlic. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, except for the avocado. Place the avocado into a separate bowl and mash into a puree using a large fork. Add the avocado puree to the sauce and stir until well combined.
Keep sauce well covered and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
