Can I make this oil free, vegan avocado dressing?
Yes! We know that many vegans are oil free. While we personally love the slight hint of taste you get from the oil and the consistency it gives, it’s not needed if you are oil free.
If you have a very neutral tasting vegetable stock, you could use that in place, or you can only use water until you get to the consistency you desire. Adjusting the seasonings for the difference if using more water.
Recipe FAQs:

Yes, you could freeze this dressing in an freezer safe container up to 3 months.
This vegan avocado dressing lasts in the fridge for 3-5 days. The length of time depends on how ripe your avocados were to start. It’s always best to give your dressing a little stir before using.
You can make a half batch if that is better for your needs.
The obvious answer is salads! But it’s good for so many more things. Try dipping raw vegetables, french fries, or even vegan nuggets! It’s also great as a sandwich spread.

MY FAMILY LOVED THIS!!!! Great alternative to an oil dressing. We used it on our Buddha bowls and it was delicious!! ❤️🇨🇦
So happy you enjoyed it!
Oil-free was great! I was a bit confused by the end result at first. I was looking for a salad dressing but this seemed like more of a dip. I added lots of water, slowly like the recipe said. The flavor is so good and it didn’t water it down at all. This tastes very similar to guacamole to me. I accidently added too much cayenne pepper and I’m not mad about it! Thank you for this recipe. Very easy to make.
Glad you enjoyed it, sorry for any confusion!
Omg sooooo good! I found myself dipping into it with a spoon just to taste it’s amazing flavor through the day!
Hahaha, we can’t blame you! Thank you for leaving a review!
