Southwestern Avocado Dressing
Kate Miller
Creamy and tangy with a spicy kick.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup picante sauce
- 2 Tbs finely chopped cilantro
- 1 Tbs lemon (or lime) juice
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
Directions
- Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scrape all of the avocado out of the shell. Place in a small bowl and mash until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir until well combined.
- Cover with plastic wrap directly on top of the dressing to avoid air reaching the avocado and turning the dressing brown. Refrigerate until ready to use.
