Made with creamy avocado, fresh cilantro, lime juice and cumin, this easy salad dressing recipe is delicious over greens or served as a dip with veggies!

We love salads in our house. In fact, you won’t find me serving dinner without one if I’m being honest. Don’t blame me, it’s my mama’s fault. We grew up starting each meal with a giant Syrian Salad in the middle of the dinner table each night.

While we do still enjoy traditional Middle Eastern salad most nights of the week, I do try to change it up from time to time so that my kids don’t get bored with eating their leafy greens. Recently we had an avocado that was starting to ripen so I wanted to take full advantage before it turned overly ripe and we missed our avocado-tunity. (If you know, you know.)

Making this creamy avocado salad dressing couldn’t be easier if I tried. You literally add all of the ingredients into a high speed food processor and pulse until smooth.

Made with creamy avocado, bright lime juice, fragrant cilantro and fresh garlic, each bite is bursting with flavor. Cumin and chili flakes give the dressing a little punch but feel free to omit.

When serving, I love to drizzle the avocado salad dressing over a giant bowl of salad greens and chopped veggies. If you have leftover cilantro, add that too. The more flavor the better when it comes to healthy eating.
