This Creamy Avocado & Lime Dressing is incredibly delicious and very versatile. It can be made as thick or thin as you like to suit whatever you are serving it with. Add some extra liquid to it and it becomes an amazing salad dressing or vinaigrette which coats and clings to the leaves perfectly, or reduce the liquid and it ends up thick like mayonnaise.

NOTES
If you will be using this Creamy Avocado & Lime Dressing as a salad dressing then I suggest adding the full amount of vinegar stated in the recipe. If you will be using it as a mayonnaise substitute or dip then you probably won't want quite as much vinegar. I suggest blending all of the ingredients except the vinegar then adding it gradually, tasting as you go so that you get the right amount for you. If you need your dressing to be thinner to use as a vinaigrette or salad dressing then just add extra water gradually until you get the consistency you want.
