EAT FAT BEAT FAT

    AVOCADO LIME DRESSING

    MAKES 1⅓ cups (315 ml)

    PREP TIME: 5 minutes

    COOK TIME: —

    The thing about avocados is that when they’re ready to eat, they need to be eaten, and finding creative ways to enjoy them without getting avocado fatigue is a struggle. This dressing is awesome with celery and crazy good tossed with romaine lettuce. To keep it from turning brown, store it in an airtight container with a leftover avocado pit inside, and try to gobble it up as quickly as possible.

    2 medium Hass avocados, peeled and pitted (about 8 oz/220 g of flesh)

    ⅔ cup (160 ml) light-tasting oil, such as avocado oil or light olive oil

    ½ cup (115 g) roughly chopped white onions

    ½ packed cup (35 g) fresh cilantro leaves and stems

    2 tablespoons lime juice

    2 cloves garlic

    ½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt

    1. Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
    2. Transfer the dressing to a 14-ounce (415-ml) or larger airtight container for storage.

    STORE IT: Keep in the fridge, with a piece of plastic wrap over the top to keep the dressing from browning, for up to 3 days.
