Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup lime juice
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh cilantro to the blender, ensuring that the leaves are washed and any tough stems are removed.
Pour in the lime juice and extra-virgin olive oil.
Add the garlic cloves and the chopped jalapeño pepper.
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk to help blend the dressing to a smooth consistency.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Blend the ingredients on a low setting, gradually increasing to high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to make sure everything is well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, and blend again.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle with a lid and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Serve over your favorite salad, use as a dip for vegetables, or drizzle over grilled meats and fish. Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
