Creamy, bright, and packed with fresh flavor, this blender dressing is the kind of thing you'll want to put on absolutely everything. A ripe avocado gives it that lush, velvety body while fresh cilantro, lime juice, and a hint of ginger keep it tasting alive and vibrant. Store-bought dressings are one of the sneakiest sources of synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT, often buried deep in the ingredient list — making homemade the obvious move when you're trying to keep things clean. Every ingredient here is whole and recognizable, from the extra-virgin olive oil to the fresh garlic, so you know exactly what's going into the bottle. The technique is dead simple: everything goes into a blender, you run it for under a minute, and you're done. Drizzle it over salads, grain bowls, tacos, or grilled vegetables — it works beautifully almost anywhere a creamy, citrusy sauce would be welcome. Make a batch and keep it in the fridge for up to two days, though it tends to disappear well before then.
