Ingredients
  

1 ripe avocado

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional: a dash of cayenne pepper for added heat

Instructions
 

Begin by slicing the ripe avocado in half. Carefully remove the pit and use a spoon to scoop the creamy flesh into a blender or food processor.

    To the blender, add the plain Greek yogurt and buttermilk for creaminess, followed by the fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar for a tangy kick.

      Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, and a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper for flavor.

        Blend on high speed until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency. Stop the blender occasionally to scrape down the sides, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

          Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as desired. You can add more salt, pepper, or a dash of cayenne pepper for an extra spicy finish.

            If the dressing appears too thick for your liking, slowly add more buttermilk—one tablespoon at a time—until you reach your preferred consistency.

              Carefully transfer the dressing to a clean jar or an airtight container. For best flavor, refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes before serving to allow all the flavors to meld beautifully.
