Avocado Dressing (Madison)
Ingredients
- 1/4 c. fresh lime Or possibly lemon ice
- 1 sm avocado, peeled and seeded
- 1 x clove garlic, coarsely minced
- 1 x jalapeno chile, seeded and diced, optional
- 3 x scallions, including an inch of greens, roughly minced
- 1/4 c. cilantro, minced
- 1/2 c. oil, (plus 2 tab.) olive, avocado, or possibly sunflower seed oil salt
Directions
- Put the lime juice, avocado, garlic, chile, scallions, and cilantro in a blender and puree. Gradually pour in the oil with the machine running. Season with salt to taste.
- Variation with Tomatillos: The tartness of tomatillos slices through the richness of the avocado. Remove the husks from 4 large tomatillos, simmer them in water till they turn olive green, then puree. Chill, then stir into the dressing. Add in 1/4 c. lowfat sour cream or possibly yogurt if you like.
- USE this thick green dressing with crisp romaine and iceberg lettuce or possibly as a dip for crudites. It will hold well, refrigerated, for several hrs. Set plastic wrap directly on the surface to keep it from browning.
- Makes about 1 1/2 c..
