Salads are the ultimate diet food. But don’t be fooled! Salads may not actually be as healthy as the seem… heavy, creamy, and high-sodium dressings are often the demise of an otherwise “healthy” salad. This avocado-based dressing, however, is not only a diet-friendly, but a great way to enjoy a rich and creamy salad dressing without the extra fat and unwanted cholesterol!
Requiring just a handful of ingredients found in any kitchen, I made this easy (and quick!) recipe as a Ceasar dressing alternative to go with a simple shaved sprouts salad!
