Avocado Dressing
This is my riff on green goddess dressing. I’ve omitted the buttermilk, but you won’t miss it a bit, as the luscious avocado blends with the brown rice vinegar to create a mellow dressing that’s ideal tossed with crunchy salads—a mix of tastes and textures that’s like giving your palate an invigorating massage.
