- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1/4 cup parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 lime, juice of
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado: Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out of the skin carefully to ensure you get all the creamy interior.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the avocado flesh into a blender along with the buttermilk, cilantro, parsley, fresh dill, lime juice, chopped garlic, onion powder, chili powder, and salt.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If needed, add more buttermilk or water to adjust the consistency to your liking.
- Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Sample the dressing and add additional salt or lime juice if desired to enhance the flavors.
- Chill Before Serving: Transfer the dressing to a container and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken slightly.
- Storage: Keep the dressing refrigerated; it will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
Notes
- The dressing will be quite thick as is; add extra buttermilk or water to thin it for a pourable salad dressing consistency.
- This dressing works well both as a salad dressing or as a dip for vegetables or chips.
