Avocado Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

This recipe was inspired by a dressing that I tried at a farmer's market out in Vail, Colorado during the summertime a few years ago. I'm not a big fan of creamy dressings and thought this was such a great way to make a dressing without using mayo.

Avocado Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
*Makes 1 1/4 cup*

Ingredients:
1 cup      packed fresh cilantro (about 1 bunch)
1/2 cup   extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup   lime juice (about 2 limes)
1/8 cup   orange juice (about 1/2 orange)
1 clove   garlic
1/2        avocado
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Puree cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, avocado in a a blender or food processor until smooth.

This dressing would also be really good with a little bit of heat by adding 1 jalapeno to it.

Yum!
