Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ripe avocados
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground 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 leaves to the blender. Make sure they are washed and roughly chopped for easier blending.
Juice two tablespoons of fresh lime. Add the lime juice to the blender to give a zesty flavor and help the dressing stay fresh.
Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the blender for a rich aroma and taste.
Pour in the extra-virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, which will add a silky texture and tangy flavor.
Add half a teaspoon of sea salt and a quarter teaspoon of ground black pepper to season.
Pour one cup of water into the blender to achieve the desired consistency, adjusting more or less as needed.
Blend all ingredients on a high setting until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may want to add more lime juice for tanginess or more water for a thinner consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a serving dish or jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
