Make this creamy, tangy avocado lime dressing in five minutes or less using a blender or food processor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup water (add more for thinner consistency)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the avocado flesh, lime juice, water, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. If the dressing is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired pouring consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
  5. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a spicier dressing, add a small piece of jalapeño without seeds.
  • If you do not have a blender, you can mash the avocado very well and vigorously whisk in the remaining ingredients until smooth.
  • This dressing thickens slightly when chilled; add a splash of water when reheating if necessary.
