Creamy Avocado Herb Dressing
Method
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh spinach, basil leaves, lemon juice, water, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes completely smooth and vibrant green.
If you prefer a thinner dressing, blend in an additional tablespoon or two of cold water until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra lemon juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
Blend again for 10–15 seconds to create a silky, pourable dressing.
Serve immediately over fresh green salads, grilled shrimp, chicken, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls.
This dressing is at its best when served immediately after blending, as fresh avocado naturally oxidizes over time. The lemon juice helps preserve its bright color, while fresh basil adds a fragrant Mediterranean flavor that pairs especially well with seafood and crisp summer salads.
