Best with Ripe ÉVO® Hass Avocado
A premium salad dressing should coat leaves evenly without weighing them down. This Green Goddess Avocado Dressing uses perfectly ripe ÉVO® Hass avocado to create a smooth, pourable consistency that clings lightly to greens. Ripe stage provides balanced creaminess while maintaining vibrant colour; soft ripe may become overly thick, while firm ripe will not emulsify properly.
ÉVO® Hass has the first AI ripeness scanner that can tell the five stages of ripeness, ensuring you confidently select ripe stage for dressings and emulsified sauces.
This healthy avocado recipe is ideal for salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables and grilled proteins.
What You’ll Need
- 1 ripe ÉVO® Hass avocado
- ½ cup Greek yoghurt or dairy-free alternative
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 small garlic clove
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp fresh chives
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 2–4 tbsp water (to adjust consistency)
- Sea salt
- Cracked black pepper
Ripe avocado ensures smooth emulsification without heaviness.
How to Make It
- Halve the ripe ÉVO® Hass avocado, remove the seed, peel and check that the flesh yields gently but retains structure without excessive softness.
- Add avocado, Greek yoghurt, olive oil, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to a blender.
- Add garlic and fresh herbs, ensuring stems are removed for smooth blending.
- Blend on high until completely smooth and evenly green, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
- Add water gradually while blending until the dressing reaches a pourable yet creamy consistency.
- Season with sea salt and cracked pepper, blending briefly again to incorporate.
- Taste and adjust acidity or seasoning to balance richness and freshness.
- Transfer to a jar or serving jug and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before serving to allow flavours to develop.
- Shake or stir before using to maintain emulsified texture.
Tips & Variations
- Add anchovy for depth and traditional green goddess character.
- Replace yoghurt with tahini for dairy-free creaminess.
- Thin further for drizzle over grilled chicken or fish.
- Store in airtight container for up to 2 days with minimal air exposure.
