About Avocado lime dressing

Avocado Lime Dressing is a creamy, tangy dressing commonly found in Latin American cuisine, particularly Mexican dishes. It combines ripe avocados, freshly squeezed lime juice, and often ingredients like olive oil, garlic, and cilantro, creating a zesty flavor profile. Avocados are a nutrient-dense fruit, rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and essential vitamins such as vitamins K, C, E, and B6, while lime adds vitamin C and antioxidants. This dressing serves as a nutritious and flavorful option for salads, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls, contributing both taste and a boost of beneficial nutrients.

Health Benefits

• Rich in monounsaturated fats from avocados, which support heart health by improving cholesterol levels.
• High in vitamin C from lime juice, an antioxidant that strengthens the immune system and promotes skin health.
• Contains dietary fiber, aiding digestion and helping maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains none (unless additional allergens are introduced during preparation)

Suitable for: Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, paleo, keto

Not suitable for: Low-fat diet (unless modified to reduce avocado/oil content)

Selection and Storage

Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Since it contains fresh avocado, minimize exposure to air to prevent browning by pressing plastic wrap directly against the surface.
