It works as a great dressing for salads with crunchy veggies (carrots/radishes/cucumbers/jicama) and also for salads with shrimp or chicken. I’ve also used this creamy avocado dressing as alternative to mayonnaise for pasta salads or potato salads – try it in this ensalada rusa potato salad. It can also be used as a spread for sandwiches, a topping for tacos, or even as a quick avocado dipping sauce for chips.
