[Frosted Cake]

Does anyone have a good recipe?  I've been trying to make my own with fresh avacados, rice vinegar, olive oil, a bit of sour cream, pepper, and some garlic and paprika.

I am so tired of all the salt and calories in bottled dressing.

I just would love to read some of your avacado dressing ideas.

Thank you, Mousiegirl.

I will try that.  I don't have any cilantro, but will try the lime juice.  Sounds good!

@Frosted Cake,  I think you are on the right track, there. I use plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I think cilantro would also be good.

Thanks Debcakes for that great idea about the yogurt.  I always forget to substitute sour cream for yogurt.

@mousiegirl .... This recipe sounds fantastic!

I'll be making it within the week. I've been making my own dressings for a while and getting so burnt out on lemon and vinegar based dressings. Thanks for sharing!
