Turkey Free Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing
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 and a generous hit of lime juice keep it tasting light and vibrant. A small clove of garlic and a touch of ground ginger add just enough depth to make it feel like more than a simple vinaigrette. The whole thing comes together in under a minute of blending, and you can tweak the consistency with a splash of water until it drizzles exactly the way you want. It's a completely plant-based recipe built from whole, recognizable ingredients — no hidden proteins, no processed additives, just clean and delicious. Spoon it over grain bowls, toss it with greens, or use it as a dip for roasted vegetables. Store it in a jar in the fridge and it'll keep beautifully for a couple of days, though it rarely lasts that long.
