Anti Inflammatory Avocado Cilantro Dressing
Creamy, vibrant, and packed with ingredients that genuinely pull their weight, this blended dressing is the kind of thing you'll want to drizzle on absolutely everything. Ripe avocado gives it a silky, rich base while fresh cilantro and lime juice keep it bright and lively. Extra virgin olive oil adds a layer of healthy fat that helps the whole thing come together into a thick, pourable ribbon — exactly what you want clinging to a salad or grain bowl. Cumin brings a subtle warmth that ties the flavors together without overwhelming the freshness. Every single ingredient here earns its place from an anti-inflammatory standpoint: avocado, olive oil, lime, and fresh herbs are all staples of eating patterns built around reducing inflammation, with no refined oils, added sugars, or processed fillers in sight. The optional jalapeño adds a gentle kick if you're into it, and the whole recipe blends up in under a minute. It makes six servings, so you can keep a jar in the fridge and have something genuinely nourishing ready to go all week.
