Simple Creamy Avocado Dressing Recipes

Recipe video above. This is a dressing that uses avocado to make it creamy, rather than mayonnaise or loads of oil. It doesn't taste very avocado-ey because avocados are dense so it needs to be thinned out to make it pourable as a dressing. Rather, think of the avocado as the better-for-you means to get a creamy dressing fix!Excellent use for avocados that are a bit overripe or with brown spotty bits. Use as dressing for all your favourite salads. Particularly good salads that call for Ranch, Caesar or other mayo-rich dressings.Makes 1 1/4 cups - enough for a side salad for 6 to 8 (depending on how much you use!)

Ripe avocado is pureed with Greek yogurt, scallions, and lime juice in this verdant sauce. It's just the thing to tie all the flavors together in a Burrito Bowl.

This dressing is great for both green salads and chopped salads, and I made a combination of both to serve with our salad, using greens from our garden and cubes of cucumber. http://www.elanaspantry.com/creamy-avocado-dressing/

Whip up this quick dressing when you want to use up any ripe or slightly overripe avocado that's too soft for slicing. The miso gives the creamy dressing a delicately sweet complexity, and the lemon and vinegar cut through the buttery avocado. Use this protein-rich dressing to generously coat your hearty green salad, warm grain bowl or vegetables charred on the grill.
