This avocado yogurt dressing is deliciously creamy and perfect on top of your favorite salad or drizzled over tacos. It’s full of healthy fats and protein for a tasty meal!
This dressing is super creamy thanks to ripe avocados and the Greek yogurt gives it a delicious tangy flavor. If you like things spicy, you can turn up the heat with pickled jalapenos or you can leave them out for a more mild flavor. If you love cilantro this one is for you!
Tips for Making Avocado Yogurt Dressing
- Be sure your avocados are soft and ripe. If you’re using small avocados, use two. If you’re using a large avocado, you can just use one.
- I like to use 2% plain Greek yogurt but you can use any type of Greek yogurt you like. Just be sure it’s not sweetened.
- There’s no need to remove the stems from the leafy part of the cilantro. Just remove the longer stems at the end.

I love that you used the brine in this recipe…I can’t deal with much spice in recipes, so I tend to use pickled jalapeños a lot, because they are so much milder than fresh. Great recipe Liz!!!

Avocados are so good. This looks delicious. I might have to try making this, because like many people I do like my avocados.
