Avocado cilantro dressing can be used with crackers, salads, or as a raw vegetable dip. Plus you can use it on a wrap or sandwich instead of mayonnaise. The recipe as is will be thick but you can thin it by adding more water. The key as we know is finding that perfect ripeness of the avocado. And when you do, it’s magic. I love garlic so you can adjust accordingly if you want more. My husband doesn’t love it as much as I so I compromise with 2 cloves!
Avocados are not only delicious but an important source of healthy fat great for adults and babies! It helps increase the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins A, D, K, and E. They are a good source of fiber and nearly 20 vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, making them a heart-healthy choice.
Plus we have the superfood cilantro that we can talk about for days and all the health and detoxification benefits. It’s one of the few herbs that can pull heavy metals from the body. My favorite benefit is that it supports digestion and helps with healthier bowel movements. With that, this may be just what the doctor (Naturopathic) ordered.

Let me know if you love it and how you use it. Enjoy!
Note: if you don’t have the yogurt on hand, it tastes good without it too.
