Avocado Yogurt Dressing
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.

This dressing look really good. Can’t wait to try it, Liz!
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.
