Ingredients for Avocado Buttermilk Salad Dressing

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • Sour Cream
  • Sweet Onions
  • Fresh Lime Juice
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • Fresh Dill

How to Make Avocado Buttermilk Salad Dressing

  1. Combine 1 ripe avocado, ½ cup buttermilk, ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 clove garlic (minced), ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings. Add more lime juice for extra tang, salt for savoriness, or pepper for a little kick.
  4. Transfer the dressing to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This will also help thicken the dressing.
  5. Serve chilled over your favorite salad, pasta, or vegetables. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
