This Creamy Lemon-Lime Avocado Dressing will bring anything it’s served with to the next level. It’s not only delicious on salads, but also on grilled meats, poultry and fish. It’s creamy, rich and healthy — all at once!
You know when you have so much to do that you don’t know where to begin?
And you just want to do nothing, which isn’t really an option?
So maybe you make a “to do” list? (And if you’re me, you also review and/or add to a “recipe idea” list.)
Then you procrastinate more by making a perfect cup of coffee? And so on.
That pretty much describes my morning on day last week. That is until I reviewed my never-ending “recipe idea” list.
You see, the idea for this Creamy Lemon-Lime Avocado Dressing recipe was added to the list many months ago and for some reason yesterday it jumped out at me.
I just had to try it. Immediately. I can’t believe it took me months to get to a recipe that ultimately took me ten minutes to whip up. That’s right, this super creamy, ever so scrumptious recipe takes just 10 minutes.
And with the explosion of flavor that will hit your tongue when you try it, you’d think it took much longer.
The Creamy Lemon-Lime Avocado Dressing is absolutely amazing in my recipe for Compressed Watermelon Salad (pictured below).
What to Serve With Creamy Lemon-Lime Avocado Dressing
- It will bring any salad to another level.
- This dressing is also fantastic with my Five-Minute Blackened Salmon, and a variety of meat and chicken dishes.
- Oh, and how about simply serving it as a dip with raw vegetables? Yum!
- Maybe even on toast with melted cheese on top — a variation of Avocado Toast, if you will.
Clearly, the possibilities are endless.
However you decide to use it, I hope you enjoy every drip of this Creamy Lemon-Lime Avocado Dressing.
