This avocado, lime, and cilantro dressing is the bomb!
This is a dressing that can be used for just about anything. Well, I wouldn’t put it on a pancake but there are many other options. See tips below for some great ideas.
It is easy, creamy, full of healthy fat and is a clean recipe. No added garbage like preservatives, emulsifiers, or artificial colors.
It gets its vibrant green color from the cilantro and the addition of lime and garlic bring the flavors to a whole new level.
Try it on this grilled shrimp salad to take it over the top!
