Avocado Buttermilk Dressing

Ingredients

1 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as tarragon, dill, parsley, chives and/or cilantro)
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons water
1 small garlic clove
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
1 small ripe avocado, chopped

Preparation

  1. Combine herbs, buttermilk, water, garlic, lemon juice and salt in a blender. Puree until smooth, about 10 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Add avocado; process on medium speed until blended and smooth, about 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Try it on sliced tomatoes, cucumber salad or chopped chicken salad and as a dip for carrot sticks, celery, peppers and radishes—you name it! It would also make a great spread for sandwiches.
