Description
A tangy, creamy Avocado Lime Dressing. This is my go-to dressing to serve with Mexican food. This dressing tastes amazing with quesadillas, tacos, burritos or salad!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 avocados
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice*
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, lightly packed
- 1/4 jalapeno pepper*
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar or cane sugar
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into a blender (I used an immersion stick blender – a high powered blender will also work) and blend for a minute or so until creamy smooth. Note: Start with 1/3 cup of water and add more water by the tbsp until desired consistency is reached. I use 1/3 cup of water if using this recipe as a thick dressing (see photo in bowl) or 1/2 cup of water if using this dressing as a sauce (see burrito photo).
- Smother onto burritos, tacos, enjoy as a salad dressing or a dip for quesadillas!
Notes
1) If you are generally sensitive to lime flavors in recipes, start out with 2 tbsp of lime juice and work your way up to 4 tbsp of lime juice to taste. I like a really pronounced lime taste so I use a 1/4 cup in this recipe.
2) If you want this dressing spicier, add half of the jalapeno pepper or some of the jalapeno seeds into the dressing before blending it.
