    🍴Ingredient Notes

    Overhead shot of creamy avocado dressing ingredients.
    • Avocado - About 1 large avocado. Make sure the avocado is ripe or it will not blend easily!
    • Unsweetened Coconut Milk - Any dairy-free milk will work.
    • Fresh Cilantro, Packed - Feel free to use as much as you like!
    • Lemon Juice - About 1 lemon juiced. (Fresh juice is best!) You can also swap for lime juice!
    • Salt & Black Pepper - After the salad is mixed, feel free to add more salt & pepper!

    🍴Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: Add Ingredients into food processor

    Add avocado, coconut milk, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper into a food processor or blender.

    Step 2: Blend until Creamy

    Blend on low for a few seconds, and then slowly turn the speed up. Remove the cover, scrape down the sides, and blend again for about 20-30 seconds. It should be smooth and creamy!

    Expert Tips

    • Make sure the avocado is ripe or you will have trouble getting a creamy consistency.
    • Use mini mason jars to store individual servings for easy grab and go lunches!
    • Store fresh cilantro in a large mason jar with water in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for longer.
    • Scrape down the edges to make sure all ingredients are blended.
    • You can use a food processor or high-speed blender for this recipe!
    • Add a little water, lemon juice or coconut milk to thin it out if the dressing is too thick.

    What should I serve with this dressing?

    This dressing goes great on fresh salads, chicken, steak, tacos, or grilled vegetables. But my personal favorite is this Pasta Salad recipe!
