How To Make Avocado Salad Dressing
- Add all the ingredients but the water, salt, and pepper to a food processor or blender.
- Add one tablespoon of water at a time, blending after each tablespoon, until the dressing is the consistency you want.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pop in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
Chef’s Tips
- You can leave out the cilantro if you’re adverse to it, but we found that it wasn’t overpowering at all in the dressing.
- We prefer a bit of a thinner dressing, so we used 1/4 cup water. If you’re going to be using your dressing as more of a crema, you will probably want to use closer to 1/2 cup.
- Your dressing will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days, so make sure you eat it right away!
