Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender.
Add the plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, fresh parsley leaves, fresh basil leaves, fresh chives, fresh tarragon leaves, fresh lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar to the blender.
Peel the garlic clove and add it to the mixture.
Sprinkle in the ground black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust the flavor if needed, adding more lemon juice for acidity or more herbs for freshness.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve drizzled over salads, or use as a dip for vegetables. Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week.
