Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (ripe, medium-sized) avocado
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 0.5 whole (seeded and minced, optional) jalapeño
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (adjust for consistency) water
Instructions
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the lime juice, olive oil, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño (if using) to the blender.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the blender to help with blending and achieve the desired consistency.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the dressing is too thick, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend again until the desired texture is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice, as needed.
Transfer the guacamole dressing to a serving bowl or a storage container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
