How long does creamy avocado lime dressing last in the fridge?

This dressing stays fresh for up to one week when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Stir before each use, as it may thicken over time.

Can I freeze this avocado lime dressing?

Freezing is not recommended. The texture of avocado can become watery and grainy once thawed. For best results, make it fresh and refrigerate any leftovers.

How do I make this dressing lower in sodium?

Simply omit added salt, and use only the natural sodium present in avocado and other ingredients. You can always add a pinch just before serving if needed.

What can I use instead of cilantro?

If you’re not a fan of cilantro, substitute with fresh parsley, basil, or a mix of your favorite herbs for a different flavor profile.

Can I make this dressing without a food processor or blender?

A blender works best for a silky texture, but you can mash the avocado by hand and finely mince the garlic and herbs for a chunky, rustic dressing.

How can I use creamy avocado lime dressing besides salad?

This dressing is versatile try it as a dip for veggies, a spread for sandwiches or wraps, a topping for tacos and grain bowls, or a drizzle for grilled chicken or roasted veggies.

My dressing turned brown what happened?

Avocado naturally oxidizes and turns brown when exposed to air. To slow this process, press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface before sealing, and always keep it refrigerated.

Absolutely! Add a small jalapeño, a pinch of chili flakes, or a splash of hot sauce for a spicy twist.
