Cook time0 min

Creamy ripe avocado blends with fresh lime juice, cilantro, and garlic into a bright, herby dressing that's ready in under a minute. A touch of ground cumin adds warmth while olive oil gives it that silky, pourable finish that coats the back of a spoon just right. Thin it with a splash of water to your ideal consistency, then drizzle it over grain bowls, tacos, roasted veggies, or a big leafy salad. It's a simple, produce-forward sauce that comes together in one blender, making it an easy go-to for a vegan kitchen. Keep it in an airtight container and you've got a vibrant, all-purpose dressing on hand all week.
