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, with just the right amount of tang from the garlic and white wine vinegar. Enjoy!

how long can this be kept?
We had some in the fridge once for about 4-5 days. So anything past that I'm not sure!
