     Do you try to avoid bottled Salad Dressings?  Do you realize that home made is so much better for yourself?  Do you prefer the taste of those fresh single ingredients?  Whelp, the only thing left for you to do is start preparing what you want to go underneath!  This whips together in a flash, and will be perfect all week long.  I used it to top with Salmon, Beef, Chicken, or my mixed Greens with Almonds.  And the beauty of this recipe is that you can double it, as well as alter the amounts to your desired preferences.  The biggest question is, does this go better with protein, or is it the key to taking your simple salads to the next level!?  Decisions, decisions.

Ingredients~

1 ripe Avocado, peeled and seeded

1 cup Cilantro Leaves

1/2 seeded Jalapeños

1/4 cup Lemon or Lime Juice, alter to desired level of consistency

1 slice diced Purple Onion, according to taste

Dash Lite Salt, to taste

     Add all ingredients to blender and blend til desired consistency.  Store in fridge, feel free to double or triple recipe, and alter quantities to taste.  Enjoy!  :)
