Pistachio Free Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing
Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh herb 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 ground ginger keep it lively and a little unexpected. The whole thing comes together in under a minute of blending — just dump, blitz, and taste. Store-bought green dressings can be a minefield when you're avoiding certain nuts, since shared processing lines make label-reading a constant chore. Making it yourself with these clean, straightforward ingredients means you know exactly what's in the bottle. It drizzles beautifully over salads, grain bowls, tacos, or grilled vegetables, and keeps in the fridge for a couple of days if it lasts that long.
