It can even be made thick enough to use as a sandwich spread or as a sauce in a wrap!
This dressing comes together in no time at all. You just add ingredients to a blender or food processor to combine. This quick guide on how to cut an avocado is about as much effort as this avocado and lime dressing requires.
What’s in an avocado lime dressing?
It’s made with fresh diced avocados, aromatics like green onion and garlic, some taco seasoning and cumin as well as yogurt or sour cream, and of course lime juice. You can imagine how tasty this is. I love it on southwest pasta salad as it really compliments the flavors nicely but this dressing is basically perfect on any salad!
Tips
- Using fresh ripe avocados will blend easiest into a creamy texture.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more yogurt or sour cream. Add yogurt to thicken it up and milk to thin it out.
- A creamy dressing is best served fresh on the same day.
- Toss some cilantro in for extra flavor. It will give it added fresh herbed flavor.
- Swap lime juice for lemon juice if preferred.
Storage suggestions
Transfer to a jar with a lid, or an airtight container and keep stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
