Fructose Free Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing
Creamy, herby, and bright with citrus, this blender dressing is the kind of thing you'll want to pour over absolutely everything. Ripe avocado gives it a lush, velvety body while fresh cilantro and lime juice keep it tasting light and vibrant — no dairy, no sweeteners, nothing that would trip up a low-fructose approach. Managing fructose intake can make store-bought dressings a minefield, since many are loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, honey, or fruit-based flavor boosters. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally fructose-friendly, from the olive oil to the garlic to that optional hit of lime zest. The whole thing comes together in under a minute of blending, and a quick taste-and-adjust at the end means you can dial in the salt and tang exactly where you want it. It keeps in the fridge for up to two days, so you can make a batch ahead and have a safe, satisfying dressing ready to go all week long.
