TIPS AND NOTES FOR AVOCADO CILANTRO DRESSING:

I like to use closer to 1/2 cup of water in my dressing because I like my dressing runny.
If you’d like a creamier version, you can add in heavy cream instead of water.
This recipe can still work even if your avocado isn’t quite perfectly ripe.
I sometimes add some extra cumin and a touch of chili powder for some spice.
This will keep in the fridge for about 5 days.

CAN THIS AVOCADO CILANTRO DRESSING BE MADE IN ADVANCE?

Yes! You can make this about 5 days in advance. I actually prefer the flavor after it’s been in the fridge for a day. The flavors combine and it gets yummier.
