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.

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

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

green chili in avocado dressing
The recipe for avocado dressing calls for "half of a green chili" - what kind of chili do the recipe authors have in mind?
What type of green chili in avocado dresssing?
I do not normally purchase green chilis. Is there a substitute?
green chili substitute
We used Anaheim green chili. Pablano peppers work. If you want something more mild, use a green bell pepper. If you want more spice, use a jalapeño.
