Ingredients

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

  • Refrigerate the dressing in a sealed container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness and color.
  • The lemon juice and apple cider vinegar act as natural preservatives to slow browning without added oil.
  • If a thinner consistency is desired, add water gradually to adjust after blending.
  • Consumption within a couple of days is typical, as avocado flavor is freshest then.
