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.
