Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar to the blender.
Add the honey, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a pinch more Cajun seasoning for extra spice or a squeeze of lemon for more tanginess.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Serve chilled over salads, as a dip for vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches.
