Creamy Lime Avocado Dressing
Description
This dressing combines ripe avocado, garlic cloves, extra virgin olive oil, fresh cilantro, and freshly squeezed lime juice to create a creamy green sauce. Water is added to adjust thickness, resulting in a smooth, emulsified texture. Salt and black pepper season the dressing to taste. Blending in a food processor ensures a uniform consistency.
The flavor is bright and fresh from lime and cilantro, with creamy richness from avocado and a mild pungency from garlic. The olive oil contributes smoothness and depth. It can be poured over salads or used as a dip for vegetables.
The recipe notes storing the dressing in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Adding water can thin the dressing but may require readjusting seasoning for balance.
Ingredients
- 1 avocado ripe
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin

- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the ripe avocado, garlic, olive oil, cilantro, lime juice and water to a food processor. Season with salt and pepper.

Bom Apetite!
Notes
