Description

A thick and smooth dressing or dip marrying together cilantro and avocado.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Large Avocado
  • 1 cup Cilantro; Loosely Packed
  • 1 whole Lime, Juice Only
  • 1 whole Lemon, Juice Only
  • 1 whole Clove Garlic, Grated Or Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • ¼ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¼ cups White Balsamic Vinegar

Preparation

1. Scoop out the flesh of the avocado and place in a blender or food processor.
2. Add cilantro, citrus juices, garlic, red wine vinegar and olive oil.
3. Blend on low, adding up to 1 more tablespoon of the red wine vinegar and white balsamic vinegar to taste as you go, until emulsified. You may want to add more olive oil and vinegar/citrus juices to thin out. This dressing is quite thick, but if you add too much liquid, it does take away from the delicate flavour of the avocado.

That this dressing is FANTASTIC on pasta salad too.

This recipe was so tangy and acidic, I should have known based on the two types of vinegar PLUS lemon and lime juice! I even cut back on the measurements of the acidic ingredients. I wasted a whole good avocado on trying this dressing. I threw it out as soon as I tasted the final product. And making it in a blender? You need an immersion blender to successfully mix this all together. Otherwise, the blender blade just pushes it to the sides of the pitcher and wants nothing to do with it. Sorry, but this recipe tastes way worse than it looks!

A nice tangy dressing. I served on romaine with feta cheese crumbles.
