healthy creamy dressing

Recipe video above. Copycat of a popular salad at a charcoal chicken chain in Sydney called Chargrill Charlie&#039;s. I don&#039;t go for their chicken. But they do good salads! Love the avocado on avocado in this. :)Haven&#039;t tried but I imagine asparagus and broccolini would be terrific alternatives to the beans (similar shape and texture).Serves 6 to 8 as a side, 3 - 4 as a light meal with crusty bread or soft rolls.

Green Bean Avocado Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing

tomatoes (,

avocado (large,

red capsicum / bell pepper (, diced)

red onion (, finely diced)

avocado

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

sour cream

lemon juice

garlic clove, small (, minced using garlic crusher (Note 2))

tbsp water ((to thin out, it's very rich!))

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

Place all ingredients into a Nutribullet or small food processor and blitz until smooth (including any Extra Flavouring Options suggested in the standalone Creamy Avocado Dressing recipe).

Use water to thin to just pourable consistency (so it&#039;s not super gloopy and thick). Taste and add the following to taste: salt, pepper, lemon, oil.

Dressing:

Steam green beans using method of choice until soft (I microwave, 5 minutes on high). Drain then leave to cool and dry.

Place remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl with the beans. Drizzle with half the Dressing. Toss. Serve with remaining Dressing on the side.

Presention note: It looks a bit of a mess once tossed. If you&#039;re serving to impress, just drizzle the Avocado Dressing over and take to the table like that (see in post, it&#039;s much prettier!).

Salad:

Recipe video above. This is a dressing that uses avocado to make it creamy, rather than mayonnaise or loads of oil. It doesn&#039;t taste very avocado-ey because avocados are dense so it needs to be thinned out to make it pourable as a dressing. Rather, think of the avocado as the better-for-you means to get a creamy dressing fix!Excellent use for avocados that are a bit overripe or with brown spotty bits. Use as dressing for all your favourite salads. Particularly good salads that call for Ranch, Caesar or other mayo-rich dressings.Makes 1 1/4 cups - enough for a side salad for 6 to 8 (depending on how much you use!)
