Peel and roughly chop 1 large garlic clove and add it to the blender.
Slice open 1 medium avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and add it to the blender.
Add 0.5 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 0.25 cup of olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the mixture in the blender.
Pour in 0.25 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.
Season the mixture with 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper and 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder.
Blend all the ingredients until the dressing is smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, adjust its consistency by adding more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preferences. If desired, add a little more lemon juice for extra tanginess.
Transfer the creamy green goddess dressing to a jar or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
