Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1.5 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, wasabi paste, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and water to the blender with the avocado.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, lime juice, or wasabi for extra flavor if needed.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled over salads, as a dip for fresh vegetables, or drizzle over grain bowls. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
