Avocado Green Goddess Dressing [Oil Free]
Description
The Avocado Green Goddess Dressing [Oil Free] combines ripe avocado with fresh herbs like basil and chives to create a creamy base without using oil. Apple cider vinegar and lemon juice introduce bright acidity, while tahini adds depth and a lightly nutty flavor. Garlic enhances the savory aspects, and maple syrup may be included to balance the tartness with subtle sweetness. The dressing's smooth texture is achieved by blending all ingredients thoroughly; water can be added to thin as preferred.
This versatile dressing pairs well with green salads, vegetable bowls, or as a dip for raw veggies. Its oil-free composition appeals to those avoiding added fats but still wanting rich texture and flavor from natural ingredients.
Storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator preserves freshness for up to one week. Using a high-speed blender yields a uniformly smooth and vibrant dressing, while a food processor allows for small herb pieces to remain visible for more texture and rustic appearance.
Ingredients
- 1 small avocado peel + pit removed
- ½ cup basil firmly packed, fresh leaves
- ¼ cup chives
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice approx. half a large lemon
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 clove garlic peeled
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
- 1-2 tablespoons water if needed to thin
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except the water to a blender and process until smooth. Add the water if a thinner consistency is preferred and reblend.
- Store in an air-tight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Using a high-speed blender produces a smoother texture and more uniform green color.
- For a chunkier texture with visible herbs, process herbs first in a food processor, then blend liquids.
- Store dressing in a clean, airtight glass jar to maintain freshness up to one week refrigerated.
