Zingy Lime & Avocado Dressing

This dressing combines the zing of jalapenos with the creaminess of avocado. I love it with a simple green salad or a Mexican rice salad.

Ingredients

1/2 avocado
Juice of 3 limes (4 if your limes are a little dry!)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
OPTIONAL for a spicy kick!: 1/2 - 1 Jalapeno pepper, diced (or pickled Japapenos, or chilli powder) to taste. Make sure you add a tiny bit at first and then add more to taste. 
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Place all ingredients in a bullet blender and pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning/consistency if necessary.

Serve with your favourite salad - or try THIS RECIPE!

Lemon Turmeric Tahini Dressing

This is one of my favourite dressings. It makes a delicious dressing for salads and roasted veggies, as a dipping sauce for crudites or as a sauce to serve with chicken or fish.

Ingredients

1/4 cup tahini*
Juice of 2 lemons
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
One clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup**
Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

Place all ingredients into a bullet blender and pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust flavour/consistency until you are happy. 

Serve with salad, raw or roasted veggies, chicken or fish - or try THIS RECIPE!

* Did you know that tahini is made of sesame seeds? It's basically just a paste made of crushed sesame seeds. It comes in hulled and unhulled varieties. The unhulled variety has a more bitter flavour, so if you use it, then add a tiny touch of sweetness (honey or maple syrup) to balance it out.

** Some people like a tiny hint of sweetness in their tahini-based dressings. If you use unhulled tahini, then definitely add the honey or maple syrup. Just a tiny bit OK, or you will mess with the flavour profile!
