Pork Free Avocado Cilantro Dressing
Creamy, bright, and packed with fresh herb flavor, this avocado cilantro dressing is the kind of sauce that makes everything it touches taste better. Ripe avocado gives it a luxuriously smooth base, while fresh lime juice and a full cup of cilantro keep things lively and vibrant. A touch of cumin adds just enough earthy warmth to round out the citrus, and the optional jalapeño brings a gentle kick for anyone who wants a little heat. Because every ingredient here is naturally plant-based and free from any cured or processed meats, there's zero guesswork about what's in the bottle — you made it yourself. The blender does all the heavy lifting, and within a minute you've got a thick, pourable dressing that works on salads, grain bowls, tacos, grilled vegetables, or as a dipping sauce straight from the spoon. Adjust the water a tablespoon at a time to dial in exactly the consistency you want, from a rich drizzle to something closer to a dip.
