Step-by-Step Instructions
- Place the pitted avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and all seasonings into your blending vessel.
- Pulse or blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and emulsified.
- Gradually stream in the milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your preferred thickness (thicker for dips, thinner for salads).
- Transfer to a glass container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Kitchen Tech:
For the creamiest results, use a High-Speed Blender. This ensures the fibers in the avocado and the dried herbs are fully integrated for a professional, velvety texture.
Professional Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight glass mason jar. Due to the fresh avocado content, this dressing is best consumed within 2 days.
Freezing: Freezing is not recommended for this recipe, as the Greek yogurt base may undergo syneresis (separation) upon thawing, compromising the creamy texture.
