Ingredients
- 1 Ripe Avocado
- 2 limes
- 1 bunch cilantro
- Salt and pepper
- Dash of Citric Acid* (to prevent browning)
How it’s Done
To make the Avocado Lime Dressing: Pit the avocado and place in a blender. Zest and juice limes. in the blender. Wash the cilantro and cut off the very tips of the stems. Throw the rest of the cilantro in the blender — leaves, stems — you can use it all! Add salt, pepper, and citric acid. Add 1/4 cup of water. Puree until smooth. Add water as needed to reach desired consistency; sometimes I use up to a full cup of water, depending on how juicy my limes are.
Use as a dressing over salad, quinoa, or rice. Or serve with Oil-Free Baked Tostadas (video below) with Southwestern Black Bean Burgers or Roasted Sweet Potato Hash
Yields: About 1 1/2 cups
Chef Katie’s Tips:
Want a little heat? Add 1/2 – 1 whole jalapeno to the mix before pureeing.
