Recipe: Multi Purpose Avocado Aioli (dressing)
This creamy multi purpose dressing not only tastes great, it has a lot of health benefits to it as well. Full of healthy fats, it’s also pro biotic and loaded with raw goodness.
Avocado Aioli
- 1 ripe avocado (it’ll be slightly soft)
- 1/3 cup whole milk plain yogurt (kefir could be used for a thinner consistency)
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 small clove of garlic – minced (using a garlic press is best!)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- couple shakes of ground black pepper
Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Best if served immediately, but can be refrigerated for a couple days. Use it for dipping vegetables in, on salads, or as a sandwich spread.
