Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 cup mixed herbs - parsley, cilantro, tarragon, dill see notes for substitutions
  • 2 tablespoons chives
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire optional, about 2 splashes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • In the food processor, pulse the herbs until finely chopped. Repeat with the garlic and chives.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and run the food processor on high until combined and smooth, about 30 to 60 seconds.
  • With the food processor running, slowly pour in the water until desired thickness is achieved. Use less water for a thick and creamy, dippable dressing or more water for a pourable style of dressing.

Notes

  • Use as much or as little water depending on how thick you want the dressing.
  • My go to herbs for this dressing are parsley, cilantro, tarragon, and dill - but you can use what you have on hand.  Mint is a great option if you don't have one of those four or just have a lot of mint on hand.  You can also add in any leafy greens you have leftover too!
  • To make this without a food processor, take extra time to chop the herbs, garlic, and chives super fine before mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth.
  • To freeze, transfer the leftovers to a freezer bag, press any air out of the bag and freeze.  Alternatively, pour any remaining dressing into an ice cube tray, freeze, then pop out and place in a freezer bag.  Thaw at room temperature and whisk or run through the food processor to remix the ingredients.
