Avocado Green Goddess Dressing
Description
This dressing starts with a ripe avocado peeled and pitted, combined in a food processor with fresh garlic cloves, Italian parsley, chives, mint, and basil. Apple cider vinegar and lime juice add acidity, while agave syrup provides a subtle sweetness that balances flavors. Water is included to achieve the desired thickness, whether a spread, dip, or pourable dressing. Red pepper flakes can be added as a garnish for a mild heat contrast.
The fresh herbs give this dressing a vibrant green color and bright flavor, while ripe avocado lends creaminess without dairy. It's made entirely in a blender to ensure smoothness, suitable for drizzling over salads, using as a dip for vegetables, or spreading on sandwiches and wraps.
Herb variations are encouraged to explore different flavor profiles based on what's on hand. Adjusting the water amount lets you customize thickness for various uses. The recipe highlights that growing your own herb garden can keep ingredients fresh and economical, with tips to freeze surplus herbs in water or oil for later use.
