This intense avocado cilantro lime dressing is so delicious! The buttermilk base makes it creamy, bright and tangy, perfect for salads, tacos and vegetable dips.
Creamy Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing
This Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing is one of those additions that gives any meal an instant upgrade. Make a boring grilled chicken salad more interesting, drizzle over bagged greens for a tasty side, or use a little less buttermilk to make a dip. Because of the acidity of the dressing, it will not brown even if refrigerated for several days. It’s like an intense version of my Buttermilk Ranch Dressing, the salad dressing you’re making all the time!
