Optional Additions

The recipe below is a great base recipe! Here are some ideas for optional additions:

• avocado – want this dressing to be extra creamy? Try adding in a quarter or half of an avocado.
• jalapeño – kick it up in the spice department by adding 1/2-1 jalapeño.
• greek yogurt – if you don’t have avocado or want a little protein boost, greek yogurt will also make this dressing deliciously creamy!

Oh man, the options with this dressing are truly endless.

• Use it as a sauce for tacos.
• Use as the dressing on taco salad.
• Drizzle over a burrito bowl.
• Add to my deconstructed guacamole salad

How to Store Homemade Dressing

I like to mix my dressings in mason jars which are easy for shaking and storing! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
