Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 medium avocados Create a creamy base that is rich in healthy fats.
  • 1/2 cup vegan yogurt Adds a tangy flavor and enhances the creamy texture.
  • 1/4 cup water Helps to thin the dressing to your desired consistency.
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup Provides a hint of sweetness that balances the acidity.
  • 2 tbsp lime juice Adds a bright, zesty flavor that invigorates the dressing.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Enhances the overall flavors and brings out the taste of the ingredients.
  • 1 tsp onion powder Adds depth and savory element to the dressing.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Brings a warm, aromatic characteristic.
Herbs and Seasonings
  • 1/4 cup cilantro Introduces a fresh, herbal note.
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning Provides a complex flavor profile with a mix of herbs.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Blend the base ingredients. To a high-speed blender, add avocados, lime juice, water, maple syrup, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add herbs and seasonings. Next, add in the chopped cilantro and Italian seasoning and mix by hand.
  3. Chill and store. Cover tightly and refrigerate; use within 4-5 days for best quality.
  4. Let the flavors mingle. For best flavor, allow the dressing to rest for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  5. Adjust flavor if desired. If you prefer a tangier flavor, use extra lime juice instead of water.
  6. Add some heat if you like. To make it spicy, blend in 1 to 2 jalapenos and some red pepper flakes.
  7. Store any leftovers. Transfer any leftover dressing to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. Stir well before serving if needed.

Notes

Let the dressing chill for longer for deeper flavor development. You can use regular yogurt instead of vegan yogurt if you're not following a vegan diet.
