Creamy avocado salad dressing {with lime and cilantro}

By Layla Pujol 1 Comment

This recipe for a homemade creamy avocado salad dressing is made with ripe avocado, cilantro leaves, lime juice, olive oil, and hot peppers for a spicy version or green bell pepper for a non-spicy variation. This easy avocado salad dressing can be made in the blender or in a small food processor. It can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.

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.
