Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped fresh parsley About half of a large bunch.
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
  • ¼ cup fresh basil About 10 to 12 leaves.
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 medium/large ripe avocado
  • zest from half a lemon, optional
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • up to 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper or more to taste
  • ¼ to ½ cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a food processor combine the parsley, chives, basil, and garlic, and blend until chunky, about 5 seconds.
  2. Slice the avocado, and scoop the flesh into the food processor. Add the lemon zest and juice, vinegar, ¾ teaspoon salt, pepper, and ¼ cup water. Process until as smooth as you like. For a thinner consistency add water 1 tablespoon at a time.
  3. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and lemon, as desired. Serve right away, or store in an airtight container until ready to use. See Notes for storage tips.

Notes

  • Storage
  • Store dressing in the refrigerator in a small, airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • It contains enough lemon juice and vinegar to prevent browning, so there's no need for a layer of oil or extra lemon juice on top, as you might normally do with guacamole.
  • I suspect avocado greed goddess is freezer friendly, though I haven't tried freezing a batch yet. We usually finish off the whole batch within a couple of days!
