Creamy avocado salad dressing: quick to prepare and healthy

This is a low-calorie recipe that you can use to replace other salad dressings in your diet. Unlike ready-made sauces sold in stores, it does not contain chemical additives. Instead, it consists of several healthy ingredients.

Besides, the avocado has some unique properties. For example, while most fruits are made up mostly of carbohydrates, avocados are high in healthy fatty acids. Besides, they also contain key amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients.

Recipe for a creamy avocado sauce

To prepare this creamy avocado sauce, we recommend that you buy a very ripe avocado fruit. Thanks to this, you will manage to get the texture you want. Also, use extra virgin olive oil, which is healthier than other fats. If you don’t have it at hand, you can use sunflower oil.

Ingredients

• 1 large ripe avocado
• Roman cumin (7 g)
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 lemon with the peel
• 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (45 ml)
• 1 bunch of fresh coriander
• Water (60 ml)
• 1 teaspoon of salt (5 g)

Preparation

• At the very beginning, wash the lemon thoroughly and remove the skin from it. Set it aside to add a hint of citrus to this recipe later.
• Then squeeze the lemon to get the most juice out of it.
• Then cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and remove all the flesh with a spoon.

• Peel a clove of garlic and mash it. If you are using cumin grains, pulverize them into a powder.
• Then put all the ingredients in a blender.
• Blend for a few minutes until you get a creamy sauce.
• If you don’t have a blender, use a mortar. However, in this case, you will have to put a lot more effort into achieving the desired texture.

When you are finished making your dressing, add it to your salad dressing. It’s delicious!

Final remarks

Creamy avocado sauce is a good addition to salads, as long as you make them from healthy ingredients. Remember to avoid preparation mistakes that can reduce their quality.

Here are some of the most common mistakes we make when preparing salads :

• Using unhealthy vegetable fats such as soybean oil or palm oil. It is best to add extra virgin olive oil. If you don’t have it at home, replace it with sunflower oil.
• Adding too much oil. Avocados, the main ingredient in this sauce, are high in fatty acids. Therefore, it is not necessary to add too much oil to get the desired result.
• Adding too much salt. While you can spice up your sauce to taste, it’s better to avoid using excess of it. Remember that consuming large amounts of salt is associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension.

• Using processed spices. Many spices available in stores contain flour and other unnecessary substances. It is best to choose natural versions with no artificial preservatives.

Will you try either of these two versions of this creamy avocado sauce? Or maybe both? Be sure to add it to your salad! In addition, you can pour it over sandwiches, toast, bread or other dishes for breakfast or a snack.
