Zingy Vegan Avocado Dressing (or Dip) - dairy free, low carb and AIP

This Zingy Vegan Avocado Dressing is a smooth, creamy, and tangy sauce made from ripe avocados blended with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, water, and fresh herbs such as parsley. It offers a fresh, bright flavor with a slight bite from garlic and acidity from the lemon, balanced by the richness of avocado and olive oil. The dressing can be adjusted in thickness and flavor intensity, making it versatile for use as a salad dressing or a dip.

Ingredients

  • 3 avocado this recipe is quite flavorful. If you prefer a more mild dressing, then simply add in another avocado, medium, approximately 5 ounces each
  • 1/8 cup lemon juice (or juice of 1 lemon. Lime works great too.)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3/8 cup water (add more for a thinner dressing)
  • 1/4 cup parsley or 1 tablespoon dried. Cilantro is a great alternative, fresh
  • 1/32 teaspoon stevia (basically a dash. See Recipe Notes and post for more info and alternatives.)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender or food processor.
  2. Combine until smooth.
  3. Pour dressing over salad and mix to combine, or serve as a dip.

Notes

  • The small amount of stevia used provides a subtle flavor balance; adjust or omit according to taste and dietary preferences.
  • Lemon or lime juice can be used interchangeably depending on flavor preference; both add essential acidity.
  • Fresh parsley is preferred for the herbal element, but dried parsley or fresh cilantro are suitable alternatives.
  • For a milder dressing, increase the number of avocados to reduce intensity.
  • Adjust water quantity to achieve desired dressing consistency, adding more for thinner dressings or dips.
