Creamy Avocado Salad Dressing Recipe
This 10-minutes-to-make and vegan Creamy Avocado Salad Dressing is an easy way to freshen up your salads and pasta dishes. You can even serve it as a dip with chips on the side. It is made with everyday ingredients like ripe avocados, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, garlic, and lemon or lime juice.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 ripe avocados peeled and cut into small pieces
- 2 cloves of garlic peeled and minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeded (optional)
- ½ cup cilantro rinsed and roughly chopped
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Almond milk - optional
Instructions
- Place lime or lemon juice, olive oil, avocados, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper into the bowl of a food processor. Process 4-5 minutes or until creamy. Scrape down the bowl with a spatula a few times during the process.
- If you want a more liquidy avocado dressing add in almond milk in one tablespoon increments until it reaches to the consistency you desire.
- Taste for seasoning and add if necessary.
- Place in a jar, place a piece of stretch film on top of the surface of the dressing to keep it from browning, and close it tightly with a lid. As long as it is kept in the fridge, this dressing will be good for 4-5 days.

Notes
- Yields: This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of dressing, which is good for 6 serving (or so). Each serving is around 4 tablespoons.
- Storage: As long as it is stored in an airtight container and stored in the fridge, this avocado dressing will keep fresh up to 4-5 days.
- If you do not have a food processor, you can use a blender or an immersion blender as well.
- This recipe can easily be multiplied. Though I highly recommend stopping the machine regularly and scraping the sides during the process.
- While I love a creamy avocado dressing, if you like it to have more of a chunky avocado texture, you can process less.
