This Avocado Lime Dressing is rich, tangy, and tasty as a dressing, dip, or sandwich spread!
We're in the heart of avocado season, and We love it! The super fruit doesn't grow as well or as in abundance here in mild, wet Oregon, so We am ALL IN for enjoying the bounty from our neighbors to the south of us and celebrating California Avocado Month throughout the month of June.
Last month We got a preview of special California Avocado Month dishes that are being served at Pine Street Market, and was inspired to create more avocado dishes at home.
Creamy Avocado Lime Dressing & Dip
We make a creamy avocado pesto that We love to use on pastas. For summer, We truly wanted to create a salad dressing with avocado.
We love the tartness of lime with the creaminess of avocado. Hass avocados are SO good right now! Avocados are like sponges and soak up the flavors added to them.
They are also incredibly versatile, and especially with the weather heating up, there are a wide variety of summer dishes that simply beg for avocado to be added to them.
Making this creamy avocado lime dressing couldn't be easier. Simply prep the ingredients and blend them together in a blender or food processor until the mixture reaches a thick, creamy texture.
That's it!
This dressing only has five ingredients, and you can make it in about 15 minutes. It is also vegan, dairy-free, keto and paleo-friendly.
Use it as a Dressing, Dip, Sauce, and Spread!
Recently, We used this creamy avocado lime dressing for an Pressure-cooker Shredded Chicken salad. We loaded it up with bacon, mangoes, more avocado (of course!), and tomatoes. It was such a tasty pairing! We'll be sharing the recipe for the Pressure-cooker Shredded Chicken next week.
In addition to a salad dressing, you can use this creamy avocado lime dressing in many other ways:
- spread it on bread to add some zing to your sandwiches
- serve it as a dip for veggies
- use it as a sauce
- top a beautiful breakfast of huevos rancheros with a dollop of dressing
- serve it with nachos
- add it to tacos, quesadillas, or burritos
- brush it over grilled salmon or steak
- simply spread it on toast for your oh-so-classic avocado toast!
