Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/4 cup fresh lime

OR lemon ice

1 small avocado -- peeled and seeded

1 clove garlic -- coarsely chopped

1 jalapeno chile -- seeded and diced,

-- optional

3 scallions -- including an inch

-- of greens, roughly

-- chopped

1/4 cup cilantro -- chopped

1/2 cup oil -- (plus 2 tab.)

olive -- avocado, or

-- sunflower seed oil

salt

 

Put the lime juice, avocado, garlic, chile, scallions, and cilantro in a

blender and puree. Gradually pour in the oil with the machine running.

Season with salt to taste.

 

Variation with Tomatillos: The tartness of tomatillos slices through the

richness of the avocado. Remove the husks from 4 large tomatillos, simmer

them in water until they turn olive green, then puree. Chill, then stir

into the dressing. Add 1/4 cup sour cream or yogurt if desired.

 

USE this thick green dressing with crisp romaine and iceberg lettuce or as

a dip for crudites. It will hold well, refrigerated, for several hours. Set

plastic wrap directly on the surface to keep it from browning.

 

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
