If a dressing could change your salad life, I would volunteer my new Homemade Honey, Lime & Garlic Avocado Dressing as a candidate. More and more I find myself trying out new homemade dressings, if only because store bought ones (with the exception of Renee’s, I quite like those) gross me out almost all the time. Once you start making your own, I swear to the good Lord above, you seriously can taste the “fakeness” in store bought dressings.
This is not a low fat salad dressing, it’s a healthy fats salad dressing. Olive oil and avocados are combined with fresh garlic, fresh lime juice, honey and cilantro, making this a seriously amazing dressing.
Every single one of the ingredients in this dressing is a health super-food. If you look up each one, they are a nutritional powerhouse in their own way.

This was great. I made it with extra garlic and maple syrup to make it vegan.

Did the question about the glitch for the Garlic oil ever get answered? I don’t see it. If someone knows can you please let me know the correct amount? Thanks.
Amanda says
I meant the olive oil.
Gayle says
There is a glitch in the way the recipe displays.
Is that one half a cup of olive oil?
Kim Webb says
Ditto on the “glitch” for the garlic oil! I’m a new cook and can’t guess the measurement, so if anyone knows the answer (how much), please comment!

Oh my!!! This sounds fantastic! I’ll be making it minus the cilantro. I am one of those people who just can’t enjoy cilantro, to me it smells and tastes like dirt. Can’t wait to try this.
