Avocado vinaigrette, a creamy salad dressing with a bit of a tang.

Avocado vinaigrette

Oh my gosh it has been a crazy week. I only worked for 3 days this week… vacation time after that. But work was crazy those 3 days I was there and vacation time, well not sure if it was truly vacation time, like in relaxing. I spent most of the time of my first vacation day with my daughter and our grandbabies. Where does a 2 1/2 year old get all that energy?!?

Our youngest child graduated from college this afternoon. How does time go so fast?!? To tell the truth I wouldn’t change one thing. I love being with our children and grandchildren, I am so blessed.

With all that is going on these past few days I have a quick and easy recipe today. I am always trying to live a healthier lifestyle, it is not always an easy thing to do when you are a food blogger. I have been adding a lot of salads to my dinners of late, but I don’t make my own salad dressing. This is something I really would like to change.

So I have watched a few videos and looked at a lot of recipes and I have decided to dive in. One of our local grocery stores had a huge sales on avocados this week so I had purchase a few. I have been thinking about wanting to try avocado in a vinaigrette for sometime now.

Avocado vinaigrette

I wanted to keep it real simple, but wanted some flavor added to it, since I knew the avocado would not contribute as much flavor as I wanted. I love the flavor of onion and garlic with avocado, so I combined the two with my avocado for this avocado vinaigrette. I thought about going with lime for the acid, but I found out I didn’t have a lime in the house, so I used white wine vinegar instead which worked well.

The avocado vinaigrette turned out to be really creamy and a little tangy, perfect for my dinner salads and I hope your salads too.

    There’s nothing I love more than new salads and salad dressings to try for the warm summer months. And I’m an avocado lover, how did you know?
