Description
Prepare this creamy, zesty avocado lime dressing in under five minutes for tacos, salads, or bowls.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup water (or more for thinner consistency)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the avocado, lime juice, water, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper into a blender or food processor.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- If the dressing is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute 2 tablespoons of the water with plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt.
- If you do not have a blender, you can mash the avocado well and vigorously whisk all ingredients together, though the texture will be less smooth.
- This dressing keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
