PCOS Friendly Avocado Cilantro Dressing
Creamy, bright, and packed with healthy fats, this blended dressing is the kind of thing you'll want to drizzle on absolutely everything. Avocado brings that luscious, velvety texture while olive oil adds another layer of richness — both are excellent sources of monounsaturated fats that support hormone balance, which is exactly what matters when you're eating with PCOS in mind. Fresh lime juice and a full cup of cilantro keep things zippy and vibrant, and a pinch of cumin adds just enough warmth to make it feel like more than a simple sauce. The optional jalapeño is a small addition that punches way above its weight if you like a little heat. Everything goes into a blender and comes out silky smooth in under a minute, so there's genuinely no excuse not to make it. Use it as a salad dressing, a dip for roasted vegetables, or spooned generously over grain bowls — it pulls any meal together without relying on sugar, seed oils, or anything processed.
