How to Make Avocado Buttermilk Salad Dressing
- 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.
- Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasonings. Add more lime juice for extra tang, salt for savoriness, or pepper for a little kick.
- 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.
- Serve chilled over your favorite salad, pasta, or vegetables. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
