Makes about 200 ml5 minutesPlant-basedGluten-freeKeto

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • A handful of coriander
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • ½ green chilli (optional)
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 4–6 tbsp water

Method

  1. Blend: blend all the ingredients until smooth, adding water until it's creamy and pourable.
  2. Use it: drizzle over salads, grain bowls, beans, fish or roasted vegetables. Best eaten the same day; keep covered in the fridge to stop it browning.

Why it's good for you: Avocado is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, potassium and fibre, and these healthy fats help the body absorb the carotenoids in the vegetables you pour it over. Lime adds vitamin C and keeps the dressing bright green.
