Avocado Dressing

Love avocados? Try this lovely pale green avocado dressing! Serve over salad leaves, a rice bowl, leftover chicken—you name it! Call it our magic green sauce.

You can also dress it up. For example, add a spoonful next to a portion of chilled crabmeat salad. Beautiful!

Note that the consistency is thicker than your typical dressing but it’s still liquid enough to use as a salad dressing, too.

Ingredients
1 large avocado
2 garlic cloves, sliced
3 green onions, white portion only, sliced
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 green chili, minced
1 cup water
Instructions

Combine the avocado, garlic, and onions in the container of a blender or processor, then whirl until smooth. Add the oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper, and water and whirl briefly. Stir in the green chili. Refrigerate and pour over 4 individual salads.

I make a smooth avocado guacamole and freeze it in portions. I think this dressing would freeze well, too.

If stored in a vacuum sealed bag, could this dressing be frozen?

Hi, CJ. Avocados do not tend to freeze well, so we don’t recommend it.

Could you comment on how long you can keep the Avocado Dressing (and) best storage method

Store the dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days.

The recipe for avocado dressing calls for "half of a green chili" - what kind of chili do the recipe authors have in mind?

I do not normally purchase green chilis. Is there a substitute?
