Avocado Dressing

I am back on line with more low carb recipes. Avos are such a great addition to a meal. I recently had a meal in a restaurant rated top in its location on Trip Advisor. The addition of avocado to a simple Caprese salad with a basil pesto added a new dimension in taste. Eating well takes a little imagination, but the reward in taste and nutritional value is worth it.

2 ripe avocados

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 cup water/yoghurt or homemade low carb mayonnaise

1T extra virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Place in a blender until smooth. Serve immediately with a Waldorf salad or as a dip for crudité.

Tip: Substitute the garlic with 1t fresh chives for a change in taste

Make a simple Waldorf salad with mixed lettuce, grated apple and carrot and toasted walnuts.
