FREE Salad (& Dressing ) Recipes!
Oh. Em. Gee! This dressing is MONEY! I’m looking all over my house for things to put it on! Celery, carrots, spoons, bowls! I don’t buy dressing of any kind anymore, I just find it so much easier and healthier to make my own. Not to mention the artistic freedom I have, creating works of salad-topping art! Typically, I work in oils and vinegars…until my latest discovery…
Creamy Avocado “Ranch” Dressing!
WHAT IS THE 21 DAY FIX?!
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado (cut into chunks)
- 1 C. non-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 T. finely chopped herbs (I used dill, chives and parsley)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 C. low-fat buttermilk (more to adjust consistency if desired)
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (lots of pepper for me!)
- 1/3 C. extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- Place avocado, yogurt, herbs, lemon juice, buttermilk, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender; cover (duh!). Blend until smooth.
- Continue blending avocado mixture, slowly adding oil until well-blended. *Use more buttermilk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Store in the frig, tightly covered, until ready for use. I filled a pint Ball jar to the top!
*This is tasty on salads, but also a great dip for raw veggies – and spoons! 😉
