Creamy Avocado Citrus Dressing

This is a lovely, thick, flavorful dressing that doesn't use much oil. The avocado thickens it while the citrus juices, cilantro, and jalapeno add plenty of flavor. This recipe was inspired by a recipe in the Raw Food, Real World book - with a few minor adjustments!

Ingredients:

• 1 medium avocado
• 1 C fresh orange juice
• 1/3 C fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup white or yellow onion
• 1/2 of a small jalapeno pepper, seeds removed
• 1 generous handful of cilantro
• 1/4 C extra virgin olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Put all ingredients except the olive oil in a high speed blender or food processor.
2. Blend until thoroughly combined.
3. With the machine still running, stream in the olive oil so that the mixture will emulsify.
4. Enjoy!
