Avocado Yogurt Dressing
Why Avocado? Avocados, especially when ripe, provide a buttery mouthfeel thanks to their high (and healthy) fat content. They make a great substitute for all those really fatty and caloric salad dressings that so many of us may have grown up with. This is a great dressing for green salads but it’s also surprisingly delicious with tuna salad and even over-boiled beetroot.
Ingredients
- 1 soft ripe avocado
- 1 cup or 250 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice and zest of half a lime
- 1/2 a small white onion minced
- 2 garlic cloves peeled
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Greek olive oil
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Halve the avocado lengthwise. Remove the pit. Scoop out the pulp and place it in the bowl of a food processor or powerful blender. Add the Greek yogurt, garlic, and onion. Pulse on and off until smooth and well blended.
-
Season the dressing with salt and pepper. Chop the parsley and add it to the mixture. Pulse it a few times to blend. If the dressing is too thick, thin it out to desired consistency with a little eater, in increments of a tablespoon or two at most, at a time.

Store jar in a sealable in the fridge for up to 3 days.
