Why You’ll Love this Avocado Lime Dressing
I haven’t found a salad combo that’s not improved by this Cilantro Avocado Dressing. While this definitely has Tex-Mex flavors, I’ve also loved adding it to chopped salads and simple garden salads.
The flavors in this dressing pop right off the fork, with zesty lime juice, herby cilantro, tangy sour cream, and just the right amount of heat from jalapeno.
It’s made almost entirely in the blender and lasts for quite a while in the fridge. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Ways to Use This Dressing
Vegetable Dip– This makes a gorgeous veggie tray and pairs particularly well with bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, and snap peas.
Sandwich Spread– Add it to your favorite deli sandwich or try it on The Best Veggie Sandwich in place of the cream cheese.
Taco Topping– Add some zing to Grilled Flank Steak Tacos, Ground Beef Tacos, or Barbacoa Tacos.
Salad Dressing– Perfect for Ground Beef Taco Salad, Shrimp Taco Salad, and Fish Taco Salad Bowls.
Everything else– I mean, maybe not everything, but a whole lot of things. Or consider becoming a paid subscriber to access exclusive content and conversations with us. Leave us a star rating or comment below!
