Homemade Green Goddess Salad Dressing

Boost your health fat intake with this fresh salad dressing you can make yourself.

The easy formula for homemade salad dressing is FASS; fat, acid, sweet and salty. Get creative with your own mixtures of these flavors to create fresh and signature dressings at home.

Categories(s): Sides, Paleo, Ketogenic

Benefits: low carb healthy fat (LCHF), source of the healthy fats from avocado and coconut milk, source of acids to help stimulate stomach acid production (lemon juice and ACV)

Makes: about 1 ¼ cups dressing

Ingredients

1/2 medium ripe avocado

1/4 cup water (more if needed for desired consistency)

2 tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice

2 tsp raw honey

1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar (ACV); I recommend Bragg organic

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. MCT oil such a Bullet Proof XCT

2 tsp Dijon mustard such as Annie’s with horseradish

Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth and creamy. Add additional water and adjust flavor with your FASS ingredients if desired. Store in a glass jar for up to 5 days. It tastes so good it probably won’t last THAT long.  My Nutribullet works great for blending this dressing.
