Creamy Avocado Dressing

Easy Avocado Buttermilk Dressing
Print Recipe

A cool and creamy avocado dressing with tangy buttermilk, fresh cilantro, and lime juice along with some spicy jalapeno pepper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1 small jalapeno
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 1 lime, juice
  • 1 green onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeno. Roughly chop the cilantro and green onion to ensure even blending.
  2. Step 2: Add the avocado, jalapeno, 1/4 cup cilantro, juice of 1 lime, 1 chopped green onion, 1 minced garlic clove, 3/4 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the blender.
  3. Step 3: Puree all ingredients until the dressing is smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds. Scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is well combined. If the dressing is too thick, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Step 4: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed. The balance of tangy, spicy, and creamy should shine through.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. It’s best used within a few days for optimal freshness. Stir before serving, as it may separate slightly.

 

Notes

  • Remove seeds from jalapeno for less heat.
  • Adjust buttermilk for desired consistency.
  • My go-to dressing for summer salads and taco nights!
