Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 Jalapeño
  • 2 cups fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Roughly chop the garlic and jalapeño for easier blending.
  2. Add all ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender.
  3. Blend until smooth and completely emulsified.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
  5. Serve immediately or store in the fridge. Shake before each use.

Notes

  • Quality of Ingredients: Opt for ripe avocados, fresh cilantro leaves, and high-quality olive oil to ensure maximum flavor and creaminess.
  • Blending: This is a dressing, not a dip, so you will want to keep blending until it is totally smooth and creamy.
  • Heat Level Control: If you want to minimize the heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before blending. If you like the burn, keep the seeds intact.
  • Taste Test: You can add the seasoning after you're done blending. Do it in small amounts -- it's easier to add more salt, lime, or honey than to take it away.
