Ingredients

1 large avocado
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt full fat
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon juiced
1 clove garlic grated
2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper
⅓ cup water use less for thicker dressing or dip

Instructions

Scoop out the flesh of the avocado and add it to the bowl of a food processor.
Roughly chop fresh herbs and add to food processor along with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, onion powder, olive oil, salt and pepper and a dash of hot sauce if using.
Use a microplane to grate in fresh garlic.
Mix on high until smooth and creamy. While the food processor is running, stream in water until dressing reaches desired consistency.

Notes

Using Dried Herbs: To substitute dried herbs, use one teaspoon of dried for each tablespoon of fresh.
Choose a Ripe Avocado: The key to creamy dressing! A ripe avocado should give slightly when pressed near the stem.
Customize the Thickness: Whisk in a little water if you want a pourable salad dressing. For a dip, keep it thicker.
