Avocado & Lime Salad Dressing

This Avocado & Lime Salad Dressing is fresh, healthy and full of flavor!

Avocado & Lime Salad Dressing

I hate to admit it, but I’m not a big salad fan and I’m pretty picky about salad dressings. One of my goals for this year is to eat more raw foods and so I’m trying some new things to help dress up plain salad.

This Avocado & Lime Salad Dressing is seriously so good! It’s fresh, healthy and full of flavor. The garlic will give you some strong breath so beware. I also tried it on rice, but I actually like it on the lettuce better which I didn’t expect. I think I’m hooked on homemade dressing. It was so easy to make!

How to Make Avocado & Lime Salad Dressing:

Cut avocado in half, remove pit and squeeze the insides into a blender. If it doesn’t come out easily then your avocado probably isn’t ripe enough.

Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender.

Blend until smooth and creamy. You may want to adjust the amount of water depending on how thick you want it.

Enjoy!

Have you ever made homemade dressing before? How do you dress up your salads? I’d love to know!

    Yum that sounds like a delicious dressing! I'm not a huge fan of salads either. I do like the chopped salads. Have you tried those? Everything is chopped really well - makes it easier to eat all those chewy leaves :)

      I can handle chopped salads way better than big pieces of leaves! :)

    How long can this be kept in the fridge to be usable, do you think?

      I would say you should eat it within 3 or 4 days.
