Avocado Lime Dressing
This avocado lime dressing is fresh, vibrant and still very creamy without mayo or eggs. It takes just a few minutes to make using a blender.

Calories 78kcal
Ingredients
- 1 avocado (approx 120g/4oz flesh)
- ¼ cup Greek yoghurt
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- zest of ½ a lime, finely grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
- water
Instructions
- Add all ingredients (except the water) to a small blender or food processor. We used an immersion blender and a jug.
- Blend until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
- We prefer this dressing to be thick, but you can add water in small amounts to get your preferred consistency. Just make sure you add small amounts of water at a time so you don't thin it out too much.
- Store in a jar or airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. The dressing will thicken more as it cools, so again you can add a small amount of water and mix it well to thin it out if you prefer.
Notes
Makes approximately 1 cup. Serving size is 2 tablespoons.
Tips & Suggestions
- We like to use a microplane to easily grate the zest from the lime and it is best to do this prior to juicing it. A microplane is also excellent for finely mincing garlic.
- You can use full fat or reduced fat Greek yoghurt in this recipe, both would work. You can also use coconut yoghurt, it will alter the flavour slightly though.
- We like this dressing to be thick, but you can use water to thin it down to your preferred consistency. Add the water a little at a time.
- You can store this dressing in a jar or airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. It may thicken more as it cools, but you can add a little water to think it to your preferred consistency.
