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.
