It’s light, it’s creamy, it’s seemingly decadent (cause. it. is!), but the reality is it’s packed with nutrition and health!

Look at it!

Fresh Homemade Jalepeno Avocado Dressing

Don’t you want to dunk a sweet pepper slice into that jar? Yeah, you do!

While Garry prefers most of his food spicy, I am not as big a fan of the heat as he is. Our solution: Blend ingredients without jalapenos. Once blended, pour a half of the dressing out of blender for my use. Add jalapenos to the remainder in blender and blend until well mixed. If you do this method, you might also want to cut the jalapenos amount by half…but not Garry, nope! The more the ‘picier!

As noted in the recipe, I’m sure this dressing would turn out just as delish with pre-packaged mashed avocados (when you need a taste of summer in the winter!).

Use on salads, baked potatoes, as a dip, with pizza!  Let us know how you like to eat it. Unless it’s with cake…don’t tell us that. That’s just wrong.

Happy Nomming, Y’all!
