5 from 1 vote
Serves: 6
Prep: 10 minutes
Total: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 2 cups fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Roughly chop the garlic and jalapeño for easier blending.
  • Add all ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender.
  • Blend until smooth and completely emulsified.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
  • Serve immediately or store in the fridge. Shake before each use.

Tips & Notes:

Quality of Ingredients: Opt for ripe avocados, fresh cilantro leaves, and high-quality olive oil to ensure maximum flavor and creaminess.
Blending: This is a dressing, not a dip, so you will want to keep blending until it is totally smooth and creamy.
Heat Level Control: If you want to minimize the heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before blending. If you like the burn, keep the seeds intact.
Taste Test: You can add the seasoning after you're done blending. Do it in small amounts -- it's easier to add more salt, lime, or honey than to take it away.
