In a blender or food processor, combine the basil, parsley, cilantro, chopped scallions, garlic clove, avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, almond milk, and Dijon mustard.
Blend on high speed until the dressing is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Add a little more salt or lemon juice if needed to enhance the flavors.
Once blended to your desired consistency, transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Use as a topping for salads, a sauce over bowls, or a dip for fresh vegetables.
