Ripe avocado is blended with lime juice, cilantro, and a splash of buttermilk until silky smooth, creating a tangy dressing that balances richness with acidity. It works well drizzled over taco salads, grain bowls, or grilled chicken, and comes together in minutes with no cooking required.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon water, or more as needed to thin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Method

  1. Combine the avocados, buttermilk, lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin in a blender or food processor.

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

  3. With the blender running, add water a tablespoon at a time until the dressing reaches a pourable, creamy consistency.

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

  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
