A while ago I was having dinner at a local restaurant and I ordered a salad with avocado dressing. I don't remember what was in the salad but I do remember that I Loved the dressing! Since then I have searched Google and Pintrest trying every dressing I could find but nothing came close. After a bit of experimenting I came up with this one and it's great. Maybe not quite as good as the original, but a close second.
The quest for the perfect avocado! I Am learning how to tell if it is ready to eat and I love the moment when you cut one in half and it is the perfect colour, it's very rewarding. I have had my share of duds too!
Avocado Dressing
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. lime juice
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1/8 tsp. chili power
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup water
Blend all ingredients together. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
For an oil free version, skip the oil and add 1/3 - 1/2 cup water instead.
This dressing is great with lettuce, beans, cheese and tomatoes for a Mexican flavoured meal salad.
