This creamy avocado dressing is so fresh and tasty!

Lemon and basil pair great with the avocado base.

Then there is a delightful tanginess from the garlic and white wine vinegar.

I use this dressing for the Rainbow Chopped Salad, but we also enjoy it as a vegetable dip.

Ingredients for Vegan Avocado Dressing

• Fresh basil

• White wine vinegar: Or substitute apple cider vinegar.

You can also make it ahead of time, then let it chill in the fridge to let flavors further combine. (Otherwise it is great served immediately as well.)
