Creamy Avocado-Miso Dressing image

Whip up this quick dressing when you want to use up any ripe or slightly overripe avocado that's too soft for slicing. The miso gives the creamy dressing a delicately sweet complexity, and the lemon and vinegar cut through the buttery avocado. Use this protein-rich dressing to generously coat your hearty green salad, warm grain bowl or vegetables charred on the grill.
