Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium -sized ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ cup (180 ml / 6.1 fl oz) avocado oil
  • ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons / 25 ml (0.8 fl oz) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) toasted sesame oil, optional
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • For a thinner, more pourable consistency, blend in cold water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired texture.
  • To keep the dressing a vibrant green, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dressing before sealing it in an airtight container. This minimizes oxidation.
  • For a spicy kick, add a small, de-seeded jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes before blending.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Place all —avocado, garlic, avocado oil, vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sesame oil (if using), salt, pepper, and cumin—into a food processor or high-speed blender.
  3. Pulse or blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides once or twice to ensure everything is incorporated.
  4. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  5. Add a handful of fresh cilantro or parsley to the blender for a fresh, herbaceous flavor boost.
