"Altho its early origin is a matter of some debate, what we all came to eventually know as GREEN GODDESS salad dressing was first bottled & sold commercially by Seven Seas in the early 1970's. Named for its color, over time it became associated w/the use of avocado even if it didn't deserve the connection. Now true avocado salad dressings are called just that, but there's a large variety of them. I went searching for 1 I could "adopt as my own forever", but it wasn't so easy. It came down to 2 choices that were somewhat similar, so I decided to "blend" them & enter the result here so I don't have to do this again. This avocado dressing has a Tex-Mex flavor profile & works well for me. I hope it will for you as well. Enjoy!"

Step 1
Halve the avocado, remove pit & scoop the avocado pulp into a blender (See Note #1). Add the remaining ingredients & blend until smooth & creamy. Chill for at least 1 hr in your refrigerator in an airtight container B4 use.
NOTE #1: I have a wide-mouth jar w/a lid that I use often for recipes like this & then I reach for my trusty hand-held blender so I can get the job done easily & use the jar for storage
NOTE #2: Yield is 2 cups or 8 generous 1/4 cup servings
Tips
- Standard blender or hand-held stick blender (my choice).
