Notes
- This recipe uses a small food processor or blender for a smooth creamy texture. If you don't have one, you can mash it very finely with a fork.
- To prevent the avocado from turning brown, cover the dressing with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap is touching the surface of the dressing. This will help to keep the dressing fresh and green.
- To maintain freshness, store avocado lime dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
