I don’t know about you, but I’ve got avocados on my mind. In case you missed this avocado mango salsa, you should definitely try it. Or does this avocado mayonnaise sound more like your style? Avocados as dessert? You betcha. If you love avocados like I do, this recipe is just for you.

I learned something new about avocados the other day. According to this list of avocado facts, avocados mature on the tree but ripen off the tree. So in nature, they fall off the tree and ripen on the ground. Some fruits don’t ripen after you pick them, but avocados only ripen after you pick them. It’s like God intended for us in the non-tropics to be able to experience the joy of avocados.

How to make Creamy Avocado Lime Dressing

This salad dressing is super easy to make. Throw all the ingredients in your food processor. Start with 1/2 cup of water. Turn on the food processor and add more water until it gets to your desired thickness. And there you have it. Easy peasy.

Which to use: food processor or immersion blender?

A food processor or immersion blender is definitely needed for this recipe. I prefer a food processor for this one because I can just turn it on and walk away instead of standing there holding the button on the immersion blender. I don’t know about you, but sometimes my hand cramps when I have to hold the immersion blender button down for a while. Maybe I just have weak fingers.

The food processor will give it a nice creamy texture. And if you don’t have a food processor…no time like the present! Check out the one I recommend on my recommended tools page.

How to Use This creamy avocado dressing

You can use this dressing in so many different ways. Dress your favorite salad or use it to flavor fish tacos, steak fajitas, or a burrito bowl. This recipe makes between 3/4 cup to 1 cup of dressing, depending on how thick you make it.
