Creamy avocado salad dressing {with lime and cilantro}
Description
The dressing combines the natural creaminess of avocado with olive oil in a blender or food processor until smooth. Lime juice provides a tangy acidity that brightens the flavor and helps keep the avocado fresh. Jalapeno peppers add mild spiciness; for a non-spicy version green bell peppers can replace them.
Fresh cilantro gives the dressing a herbaceous note, enhancing the Latin-inspired flavor profile. Salt is added to taste to balance and bring out flavors. The resulting dressing is rich, smooth, and tangy with a subtle kick that works well over leafy greens, grilled vegetables, or as a dip.
This dressing should be refrigerated until use to maintain its fresh flavor and creamy texture. Adjust seasoning with more salt or lime to suit your palate before serving.
