Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons water, or as needed to thin

Method

  1. Combine the avocado, mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, and lime juice in a blender or food processor.

  2. Add the garlic, dill, chives, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed, about 1 minute.

  4. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending briefly after each addition, until the dressing reaches a pourable consistency.

  5. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

  6. Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate at least 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
