- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 whole garlic clove
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Step 2
Add the fresh lime juice to the blender to give the dressing a zesty flavor and to prevent the avocado from browning.
Step 3
Peel the garlic clove and add it to the blender.
Step 4
Add the extra virgin olive oil to the blender for a smooth consistency.
Step 5
Add fresh cilantro leaves to the blender for a burst of fresh herb flavor.
Step 6
Add honey to provide a slight hint of sweetness that balances the lime's tanginess.
Step 7
Season with sea salt and black pepper according to taste.
Step 8
Pour in water to help with blending and achieving your desired consistency.
Step 9
Blend all ingredients on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the dressing is too thick, add additional water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Step 11
Transfer the dressing to a bowl or jar and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
