Pistachio Free Avocado Cilantro Dressing
Creamy, bright, and packed with fresh herb flavor, this blended dressing is the kind of thing you'll want to put on absolutely everything. Ripe avocado gives it a lush, velvety body while fresh cilantro, lime juice, and a touch of cumin keep it lively and bold. A small jalapeño is optional, but even a little heat takes the whole thing to another level. Because every ingredient goes straight into the blender, there's no chopping finesse required — just blend, taste, and adjust until it's exactly right. Store-bought green dressings can be a minefield of unexpected add-ins, so making your own means you know precisely what's in the bottle. It's thick enough to spoon over grain bowls or tacos, yet pourable enough to drizzle across a crisp salad without any fuss.
