07 May Creamy Avocado Dressing

This Creamy Avocado Dressing is a really easy and delicious way to turn almost any dish into something special.

I like to drizzle it on a salad, use it as a dip or as a side condiment for my main dish. The opportunities are endless. One thing is for sure, it will make almost anything you serve with it more interesting.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Avocados
• 50 ml taste-neutral olive oil
• A pinch of salt
• A pinch of pepper
• 1 clove garlic
• Juices from half a lemon
• A small handful of herbs – I used basil

METHOD:

1. Boil a little water and pour it over the garlic. Leave for 5 minutes. This will take the sharpness out of it.
2. Add all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.

Anything special to remember:

• You can use any herb you like. For variations, try it with parsley or mint, these also make a delicious version.
• Make sure to use a taste-neutral olive oil. If you don’t you will end up with a bitter taste.

BENEFITS OF THE DISH:

• Avocados are a healthy way to get good fats and they are loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids.
• Olive oil is also a healthy way to get good fats and it contains large amounts of antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats.
