Ingredients

• 2 large ripe avocado
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 small jalapeño, seeded and chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.

Step 2

Add fresh lime juice and olive oil to the blender with the avocado.

Step 3

Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, making sure to use a neutral or plain variety that has no added flavors.

Step 4

Add garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill to the blender.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste if necessary.

Step 6

Add the fresh parsley and chives. If you like a bit of heat, include the seeded and chopped jalapeño.

Step 7

Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add more almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For extra tang, add more lime juice; for more depth, increase the amount of herbs or spices.

Step 9

Transfer the dressing to a container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve as a salad dressing, a dip for vegetables, or as a topping for grilled proteins or vegetables.
