Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh lime juice to the blender. This not only adds flavor but also prevents the avocados from browning.
Pour in the extra virgin olive oil.
Add the fresh cilantro leaves. Make sure to wash them thoroughly and remove any thick stems.
Peel the garlic cloves, then add them to the blender.
Sprinkle in the onion powder, dried dill, salt, and ground black pepper for seasoning.
Pour in the coconut milk to add creaminess and balance the acidity.
Add the apple cider vinegar for a gentle tang that complements the lime.
Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed. If the dressing is too thick, you can thin it with a little more olive oil or coconut milk.
Transfer the dressing into a glass jar or container with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
