It seems that I may be temporarily sticking to a theme, and that theme is salad dressing. To be fair, we do grow & eat a copious amount of salad mix here, so that seems like a natural addition to the repertoire. If you’re like me & haven’t used cilantro much outside of garnish, this recipe might just be perfect for you! It’s creamy, the perfect balance of lime & cilantro, and a welcome change to the tahini dressing we’ve been consuming in vast quantities! Try it out and let me know what you think!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 avocado (about 6 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons lime juice
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
1 cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed
1 clove garlic , minced
1 teaspoon maple syrup - I used 1/2 teaspoon agave since that was all I had available
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
black pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Adjust any seasoning to taste, then store it in the fridge until ready to use.
Leftover dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge
