Creamy Vegan Avocado Dressing (5 Minute Recipe!) (2024)

This Creamy Vegan Avocado Dressing gives any salad an instant upgrade! Full of healthy fats and 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 and healthy fats 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!)

What Are the Benefits of Avocado?

Avocado is a super food worth adding to your diet! It’s a great source of healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids, along with vitamins C, E, K, and B6, riboflavin, niacin, potassium, and magnesium.

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.
