CREAMY BASIL AVOCADO SALAD DRESSING
This is a classic basil avocado dressing recipe. This recipe is especially good for those slightly overripe avocados, the ones that are too soft and not really presentable for a salad. You just need a blender or any small food processor. It goes great with all kinds of salads.
Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup Basil
- 3 Tbsp Water
- 1/4 tsp garlic
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 large Avocado
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Put everything in the blender except the basil. Start will lesser amounts of salt and lime; you can add more after tasting.
- Taste and adjust flavors if necessary. Add more water if necessary. Texture should be thick but pourable.
- Add the basil and pulse blend such that small pieces remain.
- Serve the basil avocado dressing on the side of your salad or premixed with the salad. If you premix, do so just before serving. Otherwise the salad greens can lose their crispness.
Notes
Easy on the lime if you're having trouble flipping the switch in spring.
