5 Delicious Ways to Enjoy this Creamy Dressing

  • Salad Sensation: Drizzle the dressing over your favourite salad like this Quick Kala Chana Chaat (Black Chickpea Salad) for instant flavour and creaminess. It also pairs beautifully with mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and more.
  • Wrap Wonder: Elevate your dining experience by generously spreading this dressing on wraps or sandwiches. Whether it's a vibrant tandoori chicken wrap or a mouthwatering basa fish fillet wrap, the dressing introduces a luscious, tangy layer that transforms your handheld meals into pure bliss.
  • Veggie Dip Delight: Use the dressing as a dip for an array of fresh, crunchy veggies like carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Grain Bowl Glory: Elevate your grain bowls by drizzling this dressing over quinoa, rice, or other grains. The creamy texture and zesty flavour create a harmonious balance with your bowl's ingredients.
  • Grilled Goodness: Use the dressing as a marinade for grilled vegetables or proteins. It infuses them with a burst of flavour and a creamy touch that takes your grilling game up a notch.

Food safe storage

  • To keep your avocado cilantro lime dressing at its freshest, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Remember that the avocado's natural tendency to darken can affect the dressing's appearance. For longer storage, consider freezing small portions using ice cube trays and thawing as needed.
