This is my version of a buttermilk/avocado recipe that works great as a dressing on a salad, or as a dip for veggies. It can even be used as a dip for things like chicken tenders, and fish sticks. The trick is to play with the spices until you like what you taste. Everyone has their own idea on what tastes good, so spend some time with those spices. And, if you can, let it rest in the fridge overnight before using. Give those ingredients a chance to know one another. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

    PREP/PREPARE
  • 2
    Chef’s Note: If you have never baked garlic you are missing out on a wonderful item. Here’s is a recipe for you to check out: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/cooking-essentials-baked-garlic.html?r=4
  • 3
    Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 4
    Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop out that yummy avocado.
  • 5
    Add the buttermilk, mayo, avocado, lime juice, onion powder, ground cumin, and baked garlic, to a food processor fitted with an S-Blade, or just use a regular blender.
  • 6
    Blend at high speed until the ingredients are completely mixed together.
  • 7
    Place in a small bowl, and add the dill, and cilantro.
  • 8
    Chef’s Tip: Ah, cilantro… you either love it or you hate it. Some people think that it tastes like soap. If cilantro is not your favorite herb, then substitute an equal amount of Italian flat-leaf parsley.
  • 9
    Blend together, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. You might even want to add a bit more lime juice… I usually do.
  • 10
    Chef’s Tip: The colder the weather, the spicier I will make it. When the weather heats up, I recommend leaving out the cayenne, and adding just a splash of black pepper.
  • 11
    Seal in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and let rest in the fridge overnight… If you can wait that long.
  • 12
    PLATE/PRESENT
