CREAMY AVOCADO LIME DRESSING

Creamy Avocado Lime Dressing is a rich, tangy and refreshing dressing perfect for adding a burst of flavour to salads, grain bowls and tacos. Made with ripe avocado, Greek yoghurt and fresh lime juice, it delivers a velvety texture while providing healthy fats and protein. The olive oil adds a hint of smoothness, while salt and pepper enhance the overall taste. This dressing is not only delicious but also incredibly versatile—use it as a spread for sandwiches, a dip for veggies or even as a sauce for grilled proteins. The combination of avocado and lime creates a creamy yet slightly zesty balance, making it an excellent alternative to store-bought dressings. It is also quick to prepare, requiring just a few simple ingredients and no cooking.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this creamy avocado lime dressing.

  • Use Ripe Avocado: A soft, ripe avocado ensures a smoother and creamier dressing. If the avocado is firm, it may not blend well.
  • Adjust Consistency: For a thinner dressing, add a teaspoon of water or extra lime juice and mix until the desired texture is reached.
  • Enhance Flavour: If you prefer a tangier dressing, increase the lime juice slightly.
  • Make It Extra Smooth: Use a blender or food processor for a completely silky texture.
  • Boost Freshness: Add freshly chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavour.
  • Prevent Browning: If storing, press plastic wrap directly against the surface to minimise oxidation.

VARIATIONS

  • Garlic-Lime Twist: Add ¼ tsp minced garlic for a bold, savoury kick.
  • Spicy Version: Mix in a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce for a little heat.
  • Vegan Alternative: Replace Greek yoghurt with plant-based yoghurt or coconut yoghurt for a dairy-free option.
  • Cilantro Infusion: Blend in 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro for a herby freshness.
  • Creamier Dressing: Increase the Greek yoghurt by an extra ½ tbsp for a thicker, more luxurious texture.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir well before using, as some separation may occur.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as avocados tend to change texture after freezing.
  • Serving Tip: If the dressing thickens in the fridge, stir in a small amount of water or lime juice to loosen it before serving.
