Avocado Lime Dressing
Fresh, zesty, and ready in 5 minutes, this Avocado Lime Dressing is creamy, flavorful, and perfect for salads, tacos, burrito bowls, or dipping veggies!"
Ingredients
- 1 cup avocado, see notes below
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground chipotle powder, or chili powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
- ¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Add the avocado, garlic, cumin, salt, chipotle chili powder, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and water to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Use the salad dressing immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 10 days in an airtight container.
Notes
- Avocados – since avocados vary greatly in size, and the amount of flesh in each avocado varies depending on the size of the seed, I recommend measuring out the avocado after the skin and seed has been removed. You’ll need 1 cup of avocado for this recipe. Usually 2 small avocados, 1 1/2 large avocados or 1 extra-large avocado will equal 1 cup of avocado once the skin and seed has been removed.
- Texture - if you find that the dressing is thicker than you’d like, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. If the dressing has been stored in the refrigerator, let it sit out for about 10 minutes, then give it a stir, before you add more water. It will thicken as it sits in the fridge, so once it warms up a bit, it will thin out.
