Ingredients

  • 1 large, ripe avocado (or two smaller ones; you want 6 ounces by weight of avocado flesh)
  • 6 tbsp full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 6 tbsp avocado oil (or other neutral-tasting oil, like grapeseed, canola, sunflower, safflower or light olive).
  • 1 lime peeled
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender or small food processor.
  • Start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed, tamping down ingredients as needed to keep the food moving through the blades and/or pausing to scrape down the sides.

Notes

For a thinner avocado dressing, use a total of 8 tbsp oil, 1 1/2 limes, 4 tbsp water and 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt. Avocado and yogurt quantities stay the same.
