Creamy Avocado Dressing

This dressing is rich, creamy and tart with just a hint of heat.  It’s delicious served in a salad of crunchy iceberg and romaine lettuce, black beans, chopped tomatoes and cilantro.  I found this recipe on the Noble Pig blog.  Kathy also adds crushed corn chips and shredded cheddar cheese to her salad.  It’s a great salad to take to a party.  Everyone will love it.

I also discovered this to be the perfect spread for a grilled fish sandwich.  It goes especially well with any blackened fish (such as ahi).  Spread the dressing generously on your toasted bun and top with grilled blackened ahi and crunchy lettuce or simply serve with a side of corn chips.
