Ingredients
  

  • 1 avocado ripe
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice or lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water adjust to desired consistency
  • 1/5 teaspoon salt
  • 1/5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 7-8 Basil leaves

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado

  • Start by cutting the avocado in half and removing the pit. Scoop out the flesh and place it in a blender or food processor.

Step 2: Add the Liquid Ingredients

  • Next, add the olive oil, lime juice, and water to the blender. These liquids will help create a smooth and creamy texture for your dressing.

Step 3: Add the Garlic

  • Mince the garlic clove and add it to the blender. Garlic adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the dressing.

Step 4: Blend Until Smooth

  • Blend all the ingredients until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 5: Season to Taste

  • Finally, season your creamy avocado dressing with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a bit of freshness, you can also add a handful of fresh cilantro or parsley.

Step 6: Adjust Consistency

  • If your dressing is too thick, you can add a bit more water until you reach your desired consistency. Blend again to combine.
