Ingredients
- 2 ripe Haas avocados
- ½ cup mayo like Duke's
- ¼ cup distilled white vinegar
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¾ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon sugar omit for keto
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water to thin
Instructions
- Place all the dressing ingredients except the olive oil and water into a food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape the sides with a spatula, if necessary.
- With the processor running, slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the dressing. It should be thick and creamy.
- Thin the dressing with a little water as desired, then adjust seasonings to taste. Add a bit more acid (vinegar, buttermilk, or lime juice) if necessary.
- Pour the dressing into a mason jar, seal, and refrigerate for an hour before using. It will keep for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Ripen firm avocados in a paper bag with an apple for a couple days. They're ripe when they give slightly when squeezed.
- Slowly add the oil while the food processor is running so the dressing emulsifies properly.
- Adjust the lime juice, vinegar, and buttermilk to taste. Be sure to use freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Chill in the fridge for an hour or two before using for the best flavor.
