Fresh Avocado Dressing

With the avocado trees and cilantro plants growing full force, I love to take advantage of making this fresh dressing. It's fantastic on salads, or used as a dip. See for yourself~!







1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 large or 3 small avocados, peeled, seeded and cubed
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1/4 cup lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste


Puree the olive oil and garlic in a blender until smooth. Add the cilantro, avocado, cucumber, and lemon juice. Puree again until smooth, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Keep refrigerated.
