Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, low-fat
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh cilantro leaves, low-fat Greek yogurt, lime juice, and the peeled garlic clove to the blender.
Pour in 0.25 cup of water to help with blending and achieve a thinner consistency.
Add a teaspoon of honey to balance the flavors, and season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Blend all the ingredients until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.
If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more water a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired thickness.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dressing to a container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes for the flavors to meld.
Serve drizzled over salads, as a dip for fresh vegetables, or as a dressing for grain bowls. Enjoy!
