Description

Discover the secret to a perfectly creamy yet refreshing salad dressing that is completely free from lactose and dairy products. This recipe for avocado dressing with lime and fresh cilantro is a culinary gem that will transform your salads. Its velvety texture, achieved with ripe avocado, perfectly coats every leaf of lettuce, creating rich flavor experiences. The pronounced acidity of freshly squeezed lime juice cuts through the creaminess of the avocado, adding lightness and freshness, while the aromatic cilantro introduces a herbal, slightly citrus note characteristic of Latin American cuisine. The dressing has a beautiful, intensely green color that will brighten any dish. It is not only delicious but also incredibly healthy – rich in monounsaturated fats, vitamins, and fiber. It pairs perfectly with arugula and spinach-based salads, salads with grilled chicken or shrimp, and also serves as a dip for raw vegetables or a sauce for tacos.

Preparation steps

1

Start by preparing the main ingredient – avocado. Place the avocado on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut it in half lengthwise around the pit. Then, hold both halves in your hands and twist them in opposite directions to separate them. To remove the pit, gently but firmly insert the knife blade into it, then twist the knife – the pit should come out easily. Finally, using a large spoon, scoop out all the flesh from the skin and transfer it to a blender jug or a tall container.

Ingredients: Awokado hass
It is best to use a chef's knife. Be careful when inserting the knife into the pit – do this carefully. If the avocado is very ripe, the flesh can be easily squeezed out of the skin.
2

Prepare the remaining ingredients. Cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice, preferably using a citrus juicer to get as much juice as possible without seeds. Rinse the bunch of cilantro thoroughly under cold running water and dry it with a paper towel. You don't need to separate the leaves – the tender stems are also full of flavor. Peel the garlic.

Ingredients: Lime juice, Fresh cilantro, Garlic
To get more juice from the lime, roll it on the countertop, pressing down firmly with your hand before cutting it. This will loosen its internal structure.
3

Place all the ingredients in a blender. To the avocado flesh, add the squeezed lime juice, the whole bunch of cilantro, the peeled garlic clove, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and freshly ground pepper. At this stage, also pour in half of the prepared water (about 30 ml). If using, add the optional chili flakes as well.

Ingredients: Awokado hass, Lime juice, Fresh cilantro, Extra virgin olive oil, Water, Garlic, Maple syrup, Sea salt, Pieprz czarny świeżo mielony, Chili flakes
Use a high-power jug blender or an immersion blender (stick blender) in a tall, narrow container. Adding liquids (lime juice, oil, and water) at the beginning will make blending easier.
4

Start blending on high speed. Blend for about 1-2 minutes until all the ingredients are perfectly combined and the sauce achieves a smooth, creamy, and uniform consistency without any lumps. Check the thickness of the sauce. If it is too thick for you, add the remaining water (or part of it) and briefly blend again until you reach the desired consistency. The sauce should have the thickness of pouring yogurt.

Ingredients: Water
During blending, it may be necessary to stop the blender and scrape the ingredients from the walls of the container with a silicone spatula to ensure everything is blended evenly.
5

Finally, taste the finished sauce and adjust the seasoning to your liking. This is a very important step! The sauce may need more salt to enhance the flavor of the avocado, more lime juice for extra acidity, or a bit more maple syrup to balance the flavors. After seasoning, blend briefly once more. Transfer the finished sauce to a jar or bowl and serve immediately.

Ingredients: Sea salt, Lime juice, Maple syrup
The flavor of the sauce develops over time. If you prepare it in advance, taste it again just before serving and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remember, it's easier to add spices than to remove them, so start with smaller amounts.

Fun Fact

💡

Avocado, botanically classified as a berry, originates from south-central Mexico. The Aztecs called it 'āhuacatl', which can be translated as 'testicle tree' due to the shape of the fruits and the way they grow in pairs. They regarded it as an aphrodisiac and a symbol of fertility.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the sauce chilled. Drizzle it generously over a salad of crisp lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and grilled chicken. Use it as a healthy substitute for mayonnaise in sandwiches and wraps. It tastes fantastic as a dip for carrot sticks, celery, and bell peppers. You can also drizzle it over roasted sweet potatoes or use it as a sauce for a bowl.

🥡 Storage

The biggest enemy of avocado sauce is oxygen, which causes it to darken. To store it, transfer the sauce to an airtight container (preferably a jar). Smooth the surface and cover it directly with plastic wrap, so that it touches the sauce – this will block air exposure. Seal the jar and store it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Lime juice also helps maintain the beautiful green color.
