Avocado Salad Dressing


I love Avocados!  I use a lot of them!  Before the change to Whole Food Vegan, we ate them on Saltine crackers with a little salt.   Now, I eat them on Wasa Bread with sprouts or a little sea salt.  Put them in Sorbet, on salads, in wraps, in sandwiches....Yum!  And the great thing is, they are one of the Good fats that we need!  

Today for lunch I discovered that I'm nearly out of my vegan no fat no cal Ranch dressing that I got at our Health food store.   What to do!  I can't eat my salad very well without dressing...I'm one of those people, when I ate the SAD (standard american diet)  I liked a little greens with my Salad dressing.  So to just sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar on my salad now, just doesn't quite cut it.  Though I have cut way back on how much dressing I use, I had to find something that I could eat that didn't have any oil or dairy in it! 

So today, I took the rest of the Ranch I did have left, 1/2 avocado and a little fresh orange juice, blended it to smooth in my mini chopper and topped my salad!  It was delicious! 

I'm going to try some other ingredients mixed with Avocado for dressings and would love to have anyone share one that they make as well!   So much can be done with a few herbs and spices!
