AVOCADO, BASIL AND YOGHURT DRESSING (AKA SHREK SAUCE)
I have to thank my mum for this little creation, a few weeks agoshe asked me to make a green salad for a Sunday feast we were having (these are a weekly event, Dad cooks entree and mains and Mum comes in with a spectacular dessert – it’s a wonder I’m not obese!), and I decided to take her very literally haha. Everything I put in the salad was green (cos lettuce, cucumber, finely sliced celery, parsley, pumpkin seeds etc) and to up the greenness I wanted to make a bright green dressing. And voila, this happened. It is super tasty, full of nutrients and oh so creamy.
It also has the added benefit of being reallyversatile, use it as a salad dressing, in a chicken sandwich or a burger, on eggs at breakfast time or on zoodles for a super green boost.
Plus it’s so quick.
Ingredients
1/2 a ripe avocado
2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp sherry or white balsamic vinegar
Juice and zest of one lemon
1 small clove of garlic, smashed
1/3 cup parsley
1/3 cup chives or spring onion
1 1/2 cups basil
1/3 cup greek yoghurt
1 tsp dijon mustard
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
Place all ingredients in a blender (a stick blender also works brilliantly) and process until very smooth. Season to taste. If you would like the sauce to be thinner just add more olive oil.
