Walnut Free Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing
Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this blender dressing is the kind of thing you'll want to put on absolutely everything. Ripe avocado gives it a 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 — just blend, taste, and adjust. Store-bought green dressings can be a minefield when you're avoiding tree nuts, since many brands sneak in nut-based thickeners or are processed on shared lines. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, so you can drizzle away with total confidence. It's gorgeous over grain bowls, tacos, grilled chicken, or a simple salad, and it keeps in the fridge for a couple of days if you can resist finishing it on the spot.
