Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the plain Greek yogurt and fresh lime juice to the avocado in the blender.
Pour in the olive oil and add water for desired consistency; you can adjust this later according to your preference.
Add fresh dill and parsley. If you prefer a smoother texture, consider finely chopping the herbs before adding.
Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt into the mixture.
Blend all the ingredients until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more water if you desire a thinner consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Shake or stir the dressing before serving, as it can naturally separate over time.
