Ingredients & Substitutions

Here is everything you need to make the best lime avocado salad dressing recipe:

Ripe Avocado: Adds a creamy texture and mild, buttery flavor. You could also use 1/2 cup mashed cooked sweet potato that is also really delicious.

Plain Greek Yogurt: Adds tanginess and creaminess while keeping the dressing light. Swap for sour cream or mayo for a richer texture.

Fresh Lime Juice: Provides zesty brightness and helps to keep the avocado from turning brown. Use bottled lime juice in a pinch or fresh lemon juice for a slightly different citrus note.

Apple Cider Vinegar: Balances the creaminess with tang. White vinegar or rice vinegar also work.

Fresh Cilantro: Adds delicious flavor and can be substituted with parsley for a more subtle herb flavor or a mix of parsley and mint for variety.

Dried Dill: Adds a hint of earthy flavor. Fresh dill can be used, but double the amount for a more vibrant taste.

Garlic Powder: Provides mild garlic flavor without overpowering. You can replace it with one small clove of minced fresh garlic for a stronger, fresher flavor.

Onion Powder: Adds a subtle savory depth. Finely minced shallots or green onions are great substitutes.

Salt and Black Pepper: Enhance all the other flavors. Adjust these to taste.
