Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing
Once you taste this Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing, you will be hooked! It’s so flavorful and healthy, it’s become a staple at our house! We enjoy it on more than just salad. It’s perfect for grilled meat, Mexican food, rice and quinoa bowls, you name it!
Since I have some food sensitivities and dietary restrictions, but love to eat healthy food recipes, I’ve come up with unique ways to infuse flavor in my favorite dishes. This dressing does that and more!
Did you know cilantro is a pretty healthy little herb! It’s deep-green leaves possess good amounts of antioxidants, essential oils, vitamins, and dietary fiber, which may can reduce the dreaded “bad cholesterol”. A bonus to it’s unique flavor. And avocado, sometime referred to as a superfood, is loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and fiber.
So it’s doubly good!
How to Make Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing without Yogurt
My favorite oil to use in this dressing is Avocado Oil. I tried it with olive oil and the flavor is good, I just like the way the avocado oil keeps the dressing a little lighter and doesn’t coagulate when refrigerated.
The recipe couldn’t be easier to make. If you have a hand/immersion blender, like this one, then you’re golden (It’s a kitchen staple for me). The dressing comes together in one container. If you make it in your mini food processor, that’s great too, it’s just an extra container to wash 🙂
