Tips
- • Use a RIPE avocado for maximum creaminess - it should yield slightly when gently pressed • For extra zesty flavor, use fresh lime juice instead of bottled • If you want a thinner consistency, add buttermilk gradually • Make sure to blend thoroughly to eliminate any avocado chunks • Chill the dressing for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors marry and intensify • Store in an airtight container and give it a good shake before each use • Pro hack: This dressing doubles as an amazing dip for veggies or a sauce for grilled proteins!
