Avocado Caesar Dressing

Hey! Remember me?! Well, it's almost been a year and I don't have much of an excuse, except that life gets busy sometimes.  Lame excuse but it's the only one I've got. I've had a few people nagging at me to get back to it, so let's rolling!

So my mom introduced me to this delicious dressing. My parents are now plant based and this recipe can be altered to suit that particular diet, if that's what you need.  It feels healthier to me because of the avocado, which is full of good fats and let's get real, it's avocado.  It's super delish. Give this a whirl in place of your usual Caesar dressing.  You won't be disappointed.




Avocado Caesar Dressing

(this can be made vegan by omitting mayonnaise for vegan mayonnaise and leaving out the Parmesan and using Nutritional Yeast)

1 avocado, halved
1/2 cup water
1/4 mayonnaise, regular or vegan
1 large clove of Garlic
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon
1 anchovy filet (optional)
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper, to taste

In a blender add all of the ingredients.  Whiz until well blended.
