Avacado Dressing

I can’t remember where I found this recipe. I think it is based on Green Goddess dressing, but without the anchovies which the boy and I can’t stand.

1 large ripe avocado

2tsp lemon juice

½ cup Greek yoghurt

1tsp hot sauce

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic

¾  tsp salt

The boy is hungry after cricket practice, so he’s getting more than just a salad. We’re having cold meats and salamis as well, with some nice crusty bread.

It’s a robust dressing so the salad needs to stand up to it – we’re having green beans, tenderstem broccoli, baby sweetcorn and chantenay carrots, all lightly blanched (one minute maximum)  and then cooled.

The avocado needs to be ripe and soft, and the oil and salt should be good. We like Tabasco, Cholula or Crystal for the hot sauce.

The recipe is just one word – blend! (Add more oil or yoghurt if it looks to thick. A quick taste will tell you which)
