No Croutons Required Challenge-- Creamy Avocado Dressing!

I took a leap the other day and entered a food blogging “contest”.
:)

I have been reading No Croutons Required since its inception this past February and have found an incredible amount of inspiration (and recipes!) in this vegetarian food blog challenge.

August’s theme is Salad Dressings and, since I love my Creamy Avocado Dressing so, I decided to enter it into the fray. But the other 14 challengers have contributed some awesome-sounding recipes (I’ve already copied three to use in the immediate future) as well.

Creamy Avocado Dressing

Recipe By: Vicci

Servings: 6

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

---------- ---------- --------------------------------

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic -- increase to 2 teaspoons for a real garlicky punch!

6 ounces avocado -- chopped (approximately an 8-ounce avocado minus pit and peel)

1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt

2 tablespoons (or more) skim milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

In a blender or small food processor, process all of the ingredients until creamy. Taste and adjust for seasonings. Add more skim milk if a thinner texture is desired.

If not using immediately, this will keep, in a tightly-covered glass container, for 3 or 4 days. "Fruit Fresh" can be added (about 1/2 teaspoon) to prevent darkening.
