Macadamia Free Avocado Cilantro Dressing
Creamy, vibrant, and packed with fresh flavor, this avocado cilantro dressing is the kind of sauce that makes everything it touches taste better. Ripe avocado gives it a lush, velvety body while fresh lime juice and a full cup of cilantro keep things bright and herbaceous. A touch of cumin adds just enough warmth to round out the flavor without overpowering the green freshness. The optional jalapeño is a smart move if you want a gentle kick — just seed it first and let the blender do the rest. Because every ingredient goes straight into the blender, this comes together in under a minute with zero fuss. Drizzle it over grain bowls, use it as a dip, or spoon it onto tacos — it holds up beautifully in all directions. Best of all, there are no nuts anywhere near this recipe, so you can blend and serve with complete confidence.
