Brazil Nut Free Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing
Creamy, vibrant, and packed with fresh flavor, this avocado and cilantro 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 lime juice and zest keep it bright and punchy — ground ginger sneaks in just enough warmth to make it interesting. Everything goes straight into a blender, so you're looking at under five minutes from fridge to table. Store-bought dressings can be a minefield when you're avoiding certain tree nuts, since shared facilities and vague labeling make it hard to feel confident — making your own from scratch eliminates that guesswork entirely. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, so you know exactly what's going into the bottle. It keeps in the fridge for up to two days, which means you can drizzle it over grain bowls, tacos, salads, or grilled chicken all week long without any extra effort.
