Avacado Salad Dressing

Instead of using those unhealthy salad dressings, why not make your own, make your own salad dressing with AVACADOS! As I was watching the Food Network show, host of the show was describing what the chef was doing and the camera person focused on the chef for a brief moment to be more exact about 2 seconds. 

Enough time for me to realize what the chef was doing and what a valid tip it was. She was making a salad dressing using the avacado! I was so excited when I saw this. Unfortunately I don't always get avacados that I can use right away, I have to leave them in brown paper bags for them to ripe properly. I am never too patient for this process. Anyway let's get down to the nitty gritty!!! 

Method

Cut the avacado length wise, peel off the skin and cut the avacado into smaller pieces.  Squeeze the juice of half a lime onto the avacado.  When the inside of the avacado is exposed to the air for any length of time, it eventually gets discolored - black.  The lime juice prevents the discoloration and also gives the avacado a nice flavor.  Now I don't have a food processor so I use my potato masher to mash up the avacado.  Then I use a fork and the back of a spoon to press out the remaining chunks of the avacado.  I think the food processor would give this Avacado Salad Dressing a nice smooth consistency.  I would have to invest in a food processor.

Add the salt and black pepper. I like pepper sauce so I use that instead. Mix everything together. Add your vegetable(s) to make your salad.
