For the Dressing
  • 1 whole Ripe Avocado Ensure it's ripe for the best flavor.

  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder A must for a fuller taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley Adds freshness.

Method
 

Steps for Preparing Dressing
  1. Begin by selecting a ripe avocado; it should yield slightly to pressure. Carefully slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a food processor.
  2. Pour in the fresh lime juice to the food processor with the avocado. Pulse the mixture until it combines into a smooth, vibrant green puree, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add in the plain Greek yogurt and olive oil. Include the minced garlic, onion powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Blend until well combined and creamy.
  4. Gradually whisk in milk to achieve your desired dressing thickness, starting with a tablespoon at a time.
  5. Transfer your creamy avocado lime dressing into a jar and seal it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
