Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium avocados
- 3 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Start by cutting the avocados in half, removing the pits, and scooping out the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the blender to prevent the avocados from browning and to add a tangy flavor.
Add the chopped cilantro leaves and dill to the blender.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Pour in the maple syrup and apple cider vinegar for a hint of sweetness and acidity that balances the creamy avocados.
Add the coconut milk and water, which will help to get the desired creamy yet pourable consistency.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and homogenous. Scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or herbs according to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before serving. This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
