Ingredients for Avocado Dressing For Seafood Salads

  • 2 large eggs
  • Lemon Juice
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • Avocados
  • Salt
  • Cayenne

How to Make Avocado Dressing For Seafood Salads

  1. Gently whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a blender or food processor until light and lemon-colored.
  2. In a separate saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter over low heat until bubbling gently.
  3. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle the hot melted butter into the egg mixture in a thin, steady stream. Blend until fully emulsified and thickened.
  4. Add 1 ripe avocado, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to chill before serving. Garnish with extra lemon zest or chopped fresh herbs, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
