Avocado Dressing

Hi everyone!  Happy New Year!  I took some time off from the blogging world and spent that time with my loved ones but, it is nice to be back!

So, my boyfriend and I made new year resolutions: eat healthier, lose weight and stay healthy!  This means, yummy, buttery, fattening things are cut out of our diet.  :(

Well, last night we made it our meal.  Taco salad!  Yum!  If you all remember, I posted about homemade taco seasoning a short while ago.  I used it with ground turkey (no more ground beef unless it is a special occasion) and it turned out great!  Along with this I wanted to make a healthier "Mexican" inspired salad dressing.  What goes good on a taco salad?  Well, sour cream and avocado are what come to mind for me...

This was intriguing to me so, I came up with a nice Avocado Dressing for the taco salad.

Avocado Dressing
2 large avocados
1 cup greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp hot sauce (or more, to taste)
2 tsp salt

Place all ingredients in a blender, blend until smooth (it will be a thicker texture, similar to sour cream).

Once finished making the dressing.  Make your salad on your plate:

Romaine lettuce, taco meat, tortilla chips, black beans, salsa, etc.

Place 2 large scoops of the avocado dressing (or however much you want) onto your plate of salad.  Toss, and ENJOY!
