Tips and Variations
It’s so easy to customize this avocado dressing recipe! Switch it up with your favorite seasonings, use sour cream, and more! You will absolutely love how it turns out!
- Add Seasoning: I love how customizable this dressing can be just by using different seasoning blends. I recommend trying 2 tablespoons of Southwest Seasoning, or Ranch Seasoning for a fun twist to match the salad you’d like to use it on.
- Use Sour Cream: Sour cream is great in place of the greek yogurt.
- Make it Spicy: If you add jalapeño with the seeds, it will add a kick of heat. You can also add a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Ways to Use: Not only is this amazing on salads, but we love using it as a dip for crudités or chips. I also love it drizzled onto buddha bowls, roasted veggies, or burrito bowls.

How to Store Leftovers
I love being able to make this avocado dressing and use it for the next few days on different salads, bowls or just as a dip for veggies!
- In the Refrigerator: Store homemade avocado dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Make it Ahead of Time: Feel free to make this about 24 hours before you plan to serve it. As it sits, the ingredients will meld and intensify, and the dressing will become even more flavorful.
