Avocado Dressing
Description
The Avocado Dressing recipe combines a ripe pitted avocado with extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, fresh dill, garlic, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create a smooth and flavorful sauce. Water is added to adjust the thickness, allowing the dressing to be poured or drizzled easily. Blending all the ingredients until creamy integrates the fats of olive oil and avocado with the acidity of lemon, while dill brings a fresh herbal layer and garlic adds subtle pungency.
The dressing’s texture is rich yet lightened by the water and lemon juice, making it suitable for drizzling over salads, vegetables, or as a sauce for grilled foods. Its fresh herb and citrus components add brightness, offsetting the avocado’s creamy mouthfeel.
Because the recipe adjusts thickness by adding water as desired, the dressing can fit various uses from a thick dip to a light salad topper. The fresh ingredients should be used promptly to maintain vibrant flavor and avoid discoloration of the avocado.
Ingredients
- 1 avocado pitted, ripe
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon dill fresh

Instructions
- Combine the avocado, water, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic, salt, and several grinds of pepper in a blender. Blend until creamy, then transfer to a jar.
