Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and cut into small pieces
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded (optional)
- ½ cup cilantro, rinsed and roughly chopped
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Almond milk – optional
Instructions
- Place lime or lemon juice, olive oil, avocados, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper into the bowl of a food processor. Process 4-5 minutes or until creamy. Scrape down the bowl with a spatula a few times during the process.
- If you want a more liquidy avocado dressing add in almond milk in one tablespoon increments until it reaches to the consistency you desire.
- Taste for seasoning and add if necessary.
- Place in a jar, place a piece of stretch film on top of the surface of the dressing to keep it from browning, and close it tightly with a lid. As long as it is kept in the fridge, this dressing will be good for 4-5 days.
