Creamy Avocado Dressing
Combining the freshly squeezed lemon juice with the avocado in this recipe serves two purposes. One is for the flavor; the other is to prevent the dressing from turning dark.
INGREDIENTS | YIELDS 1 cup
- 1 ripe avocado
- ⅓ cup soy milk
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon fresh dill
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
Halve the avocado and remove the pit; peel the avocado.
Combine the avocado, soy milk, lemon juice, olive oil, mayonnaise, dill, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth, scraping the sides with a rubber spatula.
Pour dressing into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, shake to blend. This dressing will keep for 5 days in the refrigerator, tightly covered.
