- Yields:
-
1.5 cups
ingredients
- 1 avocado, large, creamy, perfectly ripe
- 78.78 ml olive oil, fruity (100 ml)
- 29.58 ml lemon juice, freshly squeezed (30 ml)
- 19.71 ml sugar (20 ml)
- 29.58 ml low-fat yogurt, plain, low-fat (30 ml)
- 29.58 ml water (30 ml)
- 4.92 ml lemon zest (from the lemon you're using, 5 ml)
- 4.92 ml black pepper (5 ml)
- 9.85 ml flaked sea salt (maybe less for fine salt, 10 ml)
- 1.25 ml Tabasco sauce (or any hot sauce to taste, but don't overdo it)
directions
- Scoop out the avo flesh into a medium mixing bowl, and whisk to smooth. (You can do all this in a blender as well).
- Add all the ingredients as given.
- Whisk with a wire whisk, or use a blender.
- Taste for seasoning. Do not overdo the pepper taste, as it will spoil the fresh avo taste.
- Leave for a while -- 30-60 minutes -- at room temperature for flavour to settle. The lemon juice will prevent discolouring.
- Use as a dressing for salads, fish, or as an extra on bruschetta. Whatever. Nice with smoked chicken!
