This creamy Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing is a vibrant and flavorful sauce perfect for salads, tacos, or as a dip. Made with ripe avocado, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and a hint of jalapeño for mild heat, it blends quickly to a smooth, zesty dressing that is both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 avocado (peeled and pitted)
  • 1 clove garlic (peeled, optional)
  • 1 small jalapeño (cut and seeds removed)
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves (loosely packed)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the avocado, garlic (if using), jalapeño, cilantro leaves, lime juice, olive oil, cumin seeds, kosher salt, and black pepper into your blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients together until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the dressing is too thick, gradually add more olive oil or water, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until desired thickness is reached.
  4. Taste and Season: Taste the dressing and adjust the salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed for your preferred flavor balance.
  5. Store: Transfer the dressing into a clean glass jar with a lid. Refrigerate until ready to use. Consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.

Notes

  • Garlic is optional and can be omitted if you prefer a milder dressing.
  • Remove jalapeño seeds for less heat or leave some seeds in for more spice.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • This dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; shake or stir before using if separated.
  • Extra water or olive oil helps to thin the dressing depending on your desired consistency.
