As soon as the weather warms up, I find myself actually wanting to eat salad! I always prefer homemade salad dressings to storebought, especially when they are so easy to throw together. All the ingredients for this dressing can be thrown in a food processor and whipped up in no time. Toss it with your favorite salad ingredients or use it as a cold sauce for fish or chicken.

Good Foods Market & Café has beautiful avocados, in addition to a huge array of organic salad fixings. Try adding something new to your salads, like thinly sliced radishes for spice, beets for sweetness, or sprouts for crunch.

1 ripe avocado, pitted

2 garlic cloves

½ cup lowfat sour cream

¼ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup buttermilk, plus additional if needed

¼ cup parsley leaves

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tbsp sugar

Freshly ground black pepper and salt, to taste

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until combined. Add additional buttermilk to thin to desired consistency, if needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
