Avocado Lime Dressing Recipe
This avocado lime dressing is a healthier take on mayonnaise-based salad dressings. It’s ultra-creamy, tangy, herby and it’s so yummy drizzled over summer salads, grilled veggies, burrito bowls or perfect as a dip.

Instructions
Add all the ingredients into the food processor or blender jar.
Blend it until smooth.
Check the consistency, if it’s too thick then add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, blend and see if needed more or not.
Taste and adjust the salt and lime juice as needed.
Notes
Storage:
It stays good for 3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Serving Ideas:
Serve as a salad dressing (like I used in vegetarian taco salad)
Drizzle over your burrito bowls.
Enjoy as a tacos sauce or add into burritos.
Drizzle over grilled or oven-roasted veggies.
Dipping sauce for your chips, fries, wedges or raw veggies.
Spread it over the burger buns or sandwiches.
Variations:
Little spicy:
add half of jalapeno (seeds and veins removed)
Less calorie:
Skip the oil and add more water. This one has less shelf life and may discolor and water separation to occur upon storage.
Different herbs:
Try with parsley, chives, dill leaves.
Less creamy:
Skip the sour cream.
