I love how fresh and creamy this avocado salad dressing recipe is! This simple salad dressing goes well with a bowl of fresh cucumber salad, lettuce, or tomato salad, and even avocado salads. And the best part is it’s healthy and low in calories!
Avocados contain a good amount of fiber and healthy fats that help keep your heart healthy. Also, adding them to your recipes can keep you full longer during the day. These bad boys are really great for weight loss and taste amazing in salads and smoothies so let’s get cooking!
Creamy Avocado Salad Dressing Recipe
This salad dressing is a vegan recipe that is made with avocado, cilantro, lemon or lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and a little jalapeno. The avocado is the main ingredient that gives the dressing its rich flavor and creaminess.
The maple syrup gives the dressing a touch of sweetness while the lemon juice brings in a pop of sourness. Both give this dressing a kind of sweet and sour flavor.
Finally, I the cilantro and jalapeno add a little spice and a mix of lemon, peppery and pungent taste!
