80% of success is showing up and eating guac.
-Woody Allen
Ok, so maybe he didn’t say the part about eating guac, but it makes for a better quote and a popular meme.
When I lived in Florida, I bought my first avoacdo and never bought one again until I moved to California. It wasn’t a good experience. Now I eat avocados in some capacity almost every day. Our neighbors have an avocado tree and a handful are about ripe and ready to fall into our yard. I hope they don’t notice.
I have tried many avocado dressings the past few years. Some are too strong and others are too bland. When I attempted to make my own recipe, I tested it on my husband first and he was an immediate fan. This recipe can be used for salad dressings, veggie dips, or sauce for the top of your omelet. Any way you use it, you won’t keep it around for long, it’s that good.
