This Creamy Vegan Avocado Dressing gives any salad an instant upgrade! Full of herbaceous flavor, you can whip it up in just 5 minutes.

This Creamy Vegan Avocado Dressing recipe is one you should definitely put on your must-make list—and then pour it on allllll the salads. It’s so easy to make, it’s almost not even a recipe!

One of my favourite things about this avocado dressingis its creamy texture. Like seriously, you’d think there was Greek yogurt in it, but it’s all thanks to the luxurious creaminess from the avocado.

My other favourite thing about this? You can use it in a millionways. As a dip, as a mayonnaise replacement in sandwiches, and on any salad your heart desires. You can also switch it up if you like: add another garlic clove, cilantro instead of parsley, or amp up theseasonings. (Cayenne would give it a delicious kick!)

Notes on Ingredients

Please note that this is important information on the ingredients and instructions and the FULL recipe with amounts and details can be found DOWN BELOW (scroll to it) in the recipe card.

• Avocado
• Parsley or cilantro – Cilantro is a great choice for Tex-Mex or Asian inspired salads, while parsley is versatile enough to go with just about anything.
• Sea salt
• Lime – The lime juice doesn’t just give this dressing a bright, citrusy flavor—it also keeps the colour a lovely bright green.
• Olive oil
• Garlic
• Water

Should Avocados Be Refrigerated?

Only ripe avocados should be stored in the refrigerator. If your avocado isn’t yet ripe, you should store it at room temperature until it ripens.

How Do You Properly Cut an Avocado?

Use a sharp chef’s knife to cut through the avocado lengthwise, until you feel the pit. Pivot the knife and cut through the other side of the avocado, also until reaching the pit. Twist the two halves and pull them apart, then pierce the pit with your knife and pull it out.

How to Make Creamy Vegan Avocado Dressing

Here’s how easy it is to make your own avocado salad dressing!

Blend. Place all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender with 1/4 cup of water. Blend until smooth.

Adjust. The amount of water needed depends on the size of your avocado, so at this point, you can add more water and blend again if needed.

Serving Suggestions

Here are some of my favorite ways to use this dressing:

• As a dressing for Taco Salad
• As a sauce for my Vegan Buddha Bowl
• As a spread for a Vegan BLT Sandwich
• As a dipping sauce for Sweet Potato Fries

How to Store

Store avocado dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep it from going brown, you can press a sheet of plastic wrap onto the surface of the dressing.

Can This Recipe Be Frozen?

You can freeze this creamy avocado dressing for up to 2 months in a freezer bag or airtight container. Let it thaw in the refrigerator before you use it.
