If you have extra avocados and want something new to make with them, my Vegan Lemon Dill Avocado Dressing is exactly what you need!
No matter how hard I try, I can't ever time the ripening of my avocados just right. When I buy them, they are too hard to cut into and use. So they sit there patiently waiting. Then by the time I remember to check on them, I've waited too long and they are so bad I can't even use them. It's a shame how many avocados I've had to throw away because of this 🙁
This recipe will save the day if you have avocados that are ~just~ about to go bad and you need something quick and easy to make with them.
All you need to do is add them to a Vitamix, or high-speed blender, with a few other ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and in less than 5 minutes you have a creamy, tangy dressing that's perfect over a salad.
My favorite way to use it is over a baked sweet potato (yum!) and with the next recipe I will be posting...so stay tuned!
This healthy recipe is made with clean, whole food ingredients and is raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, lectin-free, oil-free, nut-free, paleo-friendly, and Medical Medium® Compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes!
Some homemade Lemon Dill Avocado Dressing recipes use dairy ingredients such as sour cream and mayonnaise.
My healthy recipe made with only 6 clean, real food ingredients is 100% vegan and dairy-free!
It can be both!
Prepared as is, it has a thick consistency which is suitable for a dip for veggies, oven-baked fries, or grain-free chips.
If you add 1-2 tablespoons of water, it will have a thinner consistency and would work great as a dressing.
You will need to store the dressing in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
You may need to give it a quick stir before using.
