Yeast Free Avocado Cilantro Dressing
Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this blended avocado and cilantro dressing is the kind of thing you'll want to put on absolutely everything. The ripe avocado gives it a lush, velvety body without any dairy, while fresh lime juice and a handful of cilantro keep it tasting vibrant and alive. A touch of cumin adds just enough warmth to make it feel like more than a simple sauce, and the optional jalapeño brings a gentle kick that builds nicely in the back of your throat. For anyone navigating a yeast-free lifestyle, store-bought dressings and condiments can be a minefield of hidden vinegars and fermented additives — this one is made entirely from whole, fresh ingredients with nothing to second-guess. The blender does all the heavy lifting, and in under a minute you have a thick, pourable dressing that flows off a spoon in a gorgeous green ribbon. Drizzle it over salads, grain bowls, grilled chicken, or tacos, and don't be surprised when everyone at the table asks for the recipe.
