Avocado Dressing
Avocado Dressing
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by halving the avocado and removing the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a blender or food processor.
-
Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the blender with the avocado.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remember, you can always adjust the seasoning later, so start with a conservative amount and add more if needed.
-
Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, you can add a little water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
-
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a tangier flavor, you can add more lime juice. For a kick of heat, a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce can be a great addition.
-
Transfer the avocado dressing to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. The dressing will keep well for a few days, but the vibrant green color is best preserved when consumed within a day or two.
