Creamy Avocado Dressing



Avocados, sometimes called “alligator pears” or “butter fruit”, are a good source of potassium and folate. The August 2014 issue of Yoga Journal contained several suggestions of how to enjoy avocados any time of the day and not as the main ingredient of guacamole. This dressing recipe is a variation of the one included in this issue.  For a thick dressing which could be used a spread, omit water.  

Creamy Avocado Dressing

1 ripe avocado, peeled and seed removed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
water (optional)

Using small food processor or blender combine above ingredients until thoroughly mixed. Gradually thin with water to desired consistency. Store any unused dressing in air tight container and refrigerator.
