Food Diary: Avocado Salad Dressing

Recently, my husband and I went to a Brazilian Steakhouse with some friends.  We had a great time, and some AMAZING food!  Besides the huge array of meat, my favorite part of the meal was the avocado salad dressing (don’t worry- we asked the ingredients before we consumed!).

Last night I decided to try and recreate it… it turned out delicious!  It’s been a while since our visit to the steakhouse, so I can’t remember the exact taste of the original dressing, but I think this one comes pretty darn close!

Avocado Dressing

Combine the following ingredients and blend well with a hand mixer, a blender, or a food processor.  It should be VERY smooth!

2 avocados

5  cloves of garlic, minced (yes, 5!)

salt and pepper to taste

2 TBS fresh lemon juice

1 C extra-virgin olive oil

enough water to bring it to desired consistency

.

This recipe made enough for our dinner plate, our lunches today, + about 1/2 C leftover.

Next time I would love to add a little Paleo Mayo to the mix!
