Description
Avocado Dressing with cilantro, lime, and jalapeno- creamy and vegan, a delicious addition to salads, bowls, tacos, enchiladas, and burritos that can be made in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado, ripe (1 cup, diced)
- 1/4 cup water- plus more as needed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (or lemon juice)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon agave, maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/3 cup cilantro (or basil)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 2 garlic cloves
- cracked pepper to taste
- optional additions: 1/4 cup yogurt, 3-6 slices jalapeño
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a blender, and blend until creamy and smooth.
For a creamier consistency, add yogurt or vegan yogurt.
Store in a squeeze bottle for tacos, enchiladas, burritos, etc. Or store in a salad dressing bottle to use as a dressing.
Notes
Two flavor profiles here: Cilantro -lime, and Lemon-Basil. If making the cilantro-lime version, add a few slices of jalapeno to add a little heat.
If adding the optional 1/4 cup yogurt, increase the salt by 1/4 teaspoon.
The Avocado Dressing will keep 4 days in the fridge (the vinegar helps preserve it a bit longer here) .
