One of my favorite dressing recipes comes from Skinnytaste. It’s the Zesty Avocado Cilantro Buttermilk Dressing. I’ve made it over and over, and it’s always a winner (it’s perfect for her Turkey Sante Fe Lettuce Wraps). One of my favorite ways to eat it is over homemade lettuce bowls or turkey taco bowls, so I put one together and switched up the ingredients a bit for a different flavor. The result was this Spicy Avocado Dressing.

I need to create more deliciousness with avocados – there’s a blogging New Years Resolution that I’ll actually try to keep! I have so many ideas buzzing around in my head, I should write them down so I don’t forget and can post them later.

Avocados make amazing creamy dressings, but without the dairy. They also cream up (and health up) vegan puddings, casseroles, and they make a great moisturizing facial mask. Avocado is the new coconut oil. Or was coconut oil the new avocado? I don’t know, I can’t keep track of all these trends.

All I know is that it tastes good and when it’s something that my husband asks for me to make again, I know it’s a keeper.

This recipe is easy to make Whole30 and paleo. I used carton coconut milk, but you could switch for canned if you want it to be Whole30 (or find a Whole30 approved carton brand). I haven’t tried it with canned coconut milk, yet, so if you try it let me know in the comments how it worked out for you.
