This is a fresh, quick, and tasty salad dressing. I make this a few times a month.
Ingredients
- 50 g ripe avocado (about half)
- 50 g fresh lemon or lime juice
- 50 g extra virgin olive oil
- 30 ml maple syrup
- 15 g fresh ginger, grated
- 2 g (½ teaspoon) garlic powder
- 2 g salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 g MSG
- A big pinch of dried thyme
- 15 ml chicken stock, drippings, or water (optional)
Method
Blend or whisk all the ingredients until just smooth; don’t overblend. Taste and adjust salt and acid.
To serve
On green salads, grain bowls, or slaws. Use immediately or refrigerate up to 2 days; stir before serving.
Notes
- 50 g citrus juice is the working amount; 75 g was too sharp.
- Chicken stock adds quiet savoury depth; water works if you want this vegetarian.
- Blend briefly; overblending turns olive oil and herbs bitter.
