Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise or regular mayonnaise

• juice of 1 lime (2 to 3 tablespoons)
• 1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and roughly chopped

Recipe Notes 

• Jalapeño seeds add a lot of heat. Leave them in for more heat and remove them for less heat.

• The dressing can be kept for three to four days in the refrigerator.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Place all the ingredients into a food processor or blender.
2. Blend until creamy and smooth. Taste to see if it needs more lime juice, salt or another jalapeño.
