I can’t believe that I only started to enjoy avocados and now I just can’t seem to get enough. It’s like I have to keep eating them to make up for the 30-something years that I never ate any. Mostly, my consumption of avocados came in the form of guacamole, but I have spread my wings and created this amazing creamy avocado dressing…it’s creamy in texture, but actually has no dairy.
I always have grand ideas of making my own dressings for my salads but a lot of time I’m just too lazy to chop and measure ingredients for a salad…I just want to throw it all together and have it work. The best part about this is that I just throw it all in my blender, give it a whirl and it’s done! I love easy recipes.
Don’t you just love that cool avocado slicer? You don’t really need it for this recipe, but it’s super cool so I wanted to show it off. The slicer makes perfect slices of avocado for salads and sandwiches….plus it’s dishwasher safe (you know it has to be if I’m gonna use it)!
I have not been able to stop eating this though…I’ve put it on everything from salads to BLTs to using it as a dip for veggies. Hubbyman used it as a dip for some pita bread and thought it was amazing. It’s cool, refreshing, and creamy….totally perfect! If my friends wouldn’t look at me funny, I’d probably just drink it with a straw…yes it was that good.

Claire McKeon says
I love avocados. They are so healthy. Shopping tip, if you need an avocado for a recipe, make sure you go to the grocery store a few days before. Avocados sold in regular grocery stores in the suburbs are usually not ripe yet. They need to sit in a brown paper bag for a few days before they are good to use.
Julie Goetz says

Sarah Z says
Avocados are one of my fave foods and they say that homemade dressings are so much better for you. I would love to start making my own… the hard part is the convenience of store bought ones!

I usually just use avocados for guacamole – I think the slicers would encourage me to try new treats with them 🙂

I love avocados, especially on my salad.
Jenna says
Is this dressing a make and use recipe? I would imagine it would start to brown due to the avocado, or does the onion and lime allow for some shelf life?
Wendy O'Neal says
Jenna…I’ve had it in my fridge for 4 days and it is still green and tastes great. I would imagine a week would be the limit.
