CREAMY AVOCADO DRESSING



Creamy Avocado Dressing image

Recipe video above. This is a dressing that uses avocado to make it creamy, rather than mayonnaise or loads of oil. It doesn't taste very avocado-ey because avocados are dense so it needs to be thinned out to make it pourable as a dressing. Rather, think of the avocado as the better-for-you means to get a creamy dressing fix!Excellent use for avocados that are a bit overripe or with brown spotty bits. Use as dressing for all your favourite salads. Particularly good salads that call for Ranch, Caesar or other mayo-rich dressings.Makes 1 1/4 cups - enough for a side salad for 6 to 8 (depending on how much you use!)

FRESH AVOCADO DRESSING FOR MODERN TASTES



Fresh Avocado Dressing for Modern Tastes image

Modern food fashion leans toward fresh, clean tastes which do not obscure the main ingredients. With this in mind I created this dressing. I especially did not want to add mayonnaise. An avo dressing can never be thin, but this one is "thinner" than most. It has a very clean and pure avo taste. It's excellent with salads, marvellous with fresh fried fish fillets, as well as with many other simple foods such as potato or fish cakes. Do NOT use those watery avo's: go for a large, perfectly-ripe creamy avo. We have plenty to choose from at the moment, so remember this recipe when your avo season rolls round!

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 avocado, large, creamy, perfectly ripe
1/3 cup olive oil, fruity (100 ml)
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed (30 ml)
4 teaspoons sugar (20 ml)
2 tablespoons low-fat yogurt, plain, low-fat (30 ml)
2 tablespoons water (30 ml)
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from the lemon you're using, 5 ml)
1 teaspoon black pepper (5 ml)
2 teaspoons flaked sea salt (maybe less for fine salt, 10 ml)
5 dashes Tabasco sauce (or any hot sauce to taste, but don't overdo it)

Steps:

  • Scoop out the avo flesh into a medium mixing bowl, and whisk to smooth. (You can do all this in a blender as well).
  • Add all the ingredients as given.
  • Whisk with a wire whisk, or use a blender.
  • Taste for seasoning. Do not overdo the pepper taste, as it will spoil the fresh avo taste.
  • Leave for a while -- 30-60 minutes -- at room temperature for flavour to settle. The lemon juice will prevent discolouring.
  • Use as a dressing for salads, fish, or as an extra on bruschetta. Whatever. Nice with smoked chicken!

AVOCADO DRESSING



Avocado Dressing image

I love cucumbers! And I love avocados! And I love salad dressings. A perfect cool combination that requires very little work. Great for dipping pita, cucumbers, spread on flatbread instead of mayo for something different. I love the use of green onions here.
