Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt to the bowl with the avocado. This will provide a creamy texture and a tangy flavor to your dressing.
- Next, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of honey. This will add a natural sweetness to balance the flavors of the dressing.
- Pour in 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. This will add acidity and brightness to the dressing.
- Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds for a delightful crunch and visual appeal.
- Using a fork or a whisk, blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. You may also use a blender for a more uniform texture.
- Once the dressing is well combined, taste it and season with salt and pepper to your preference. Start with a pinch of each and adjust as needed.
- If the dressing is too thick for your liking, you can thin it out by adding a little water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or a jar with a lid. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Serve the avocado poppy seed dressing over your favorite salads, or use it as a dip for fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
Tips
- Choose a perfectly ripe avocado: Look for one that yields slightly to gentle pressure but isn't mushy.
- For extra smoothness, use a blender instead of a whisk to achieve a silky-smooth consistency.
- Adjust the honey and vinegar to match your personal taste preferences.
- If your dressing is too thick, add water or a splash of milk to thin it out.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or additional avocado.
- Store in an airtight container with a layer of plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent browning.
- Experiment with additional herbs like chives or dill for extra flavor complexity.
- The dressing is best consumed within 3-5 days for maximum freshness and flavor.
