This dressing purées ripe avocado with lime juice, chipotle chile, and a splash of buttermilk for a smooth, pourable consistency. It works well drizzled over salads, tacos, or grilled chicken, offering a smoky-tangy contrast to fresh vegetables. The blender comes together in minutes with no cooking required.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons water, as needed to thin

Method

  1. Combine the avocado, buttermilk, sour cream, lime juice, chipotle chile, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, salt, and cumin in a blender.

  2. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed, about 1 minute.

  3. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend briefly to reach a pourable consistency.

  4. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed, then transfer to a jar or airtight container.

  5. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes, before serving.
