If you love salads but often find yourself reaching for the same old dressing, this Avocado Salad Dressing will be a game-changer. It’s creamy, fresh, and packed with vibrant flavors that make any salad pop. Plus, it’s a breeze to whip up!
Avocado is the star of this dressing, creating a creamy base that’s both rich and healthy. Lime juice adds a tangy brightness, balancing out the richness of the avocado. Olive oil helps emulsify the dressing, giving it a silky texture. Cilantro and parsley bring a fresh, herbaceous note, while garlic adds a subtle kick. Finally, a touch of salt and black pepper rounds out the flavors.
This dressing is perfect over a simple green salad or used as a spread on sandwiches. Try it as a dip for fresh veggies or drizzled over grilled chicken for a refreshing twist.
Start by halving a ripe avocado and removing the pit. If you’re new to this, simply cut around the avocado lengthwise, twist the halves apart, and carefully remove the pit with a spoon. Next, scoop out the avocado flesh and drop it into your blender.
Add the lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper to the blender. These ingredients will layer in flavor, so don’t skimp on them!
Blend everything until smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender’s power, you might need to stop and scrape down the sides. Once everything’s well combined, taste your dressing. If you feel like it needs a bit more zing, add a touch more lime juice or salt.
Finally, drizzle this gorgeous, green dressing over your favorite salad greens. It pairs beautifully with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber — but feel free to get creative!
