This is the creamy dressing I use for the Rainbow Chopped Salad, but we also love it as a veggie dip! Fresh basil and lemon pair wonderfully with the creamy avocado. And I love the flavorful tang from the garlic & white wine vinegar!
Feel free to make it ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge for maximum flavor. Otherwise it’s great served immediately! Hope you enjoy.
