Avocado Dressing
Well I would have to say Avodaco is not my favourite food, however we have this great big tree in the garden and it just seems to keep producing so I have experimented and found that I don't mind an Avocado dressing so here is the recipe that I found and made.
2 ripe avocados
juice from 2 limes
1/8 cup Balsamic vinegar
1/8 cup water
6 sprigs of Corriander
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1.5 tsp garlic powder

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
You can add more salt or garlic to suit your taste.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days.
We have had it with steak and as a dressing on bread with meat and salad.I shared some with a friend and she added hers to some philly and sour cream and made a dip.
So good luck and have fun experimanting.
