Notes

Tips and Tricks

Choose a Ripe Avocado - Select an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure. This ensures a smooth, creamy texture when blended.
Rinse the Anchovies - Rinse the anchovy filets under cold water before chopping them. This removes excess salt and prevents the dressing from becoming too salty.
Chill Overnight - Allow the dressing to chill for the full 24 hours. This gives the flavors time to meld together and creates the best taste.
Adjust Consistency - Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or lemon juice if the dressing is too thick. Blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Store Properly - Keep the dressing in an airtight glass jar. This prevents oxidation and keeps the bright green color longer.
Taste and Adjust - Before serving, taste the dressing and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Everyone's taste preferences are different.

Storing

Refrigerate - Store the dressing in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The avocado may darken slightly over time, but the flavor remains good.
Prevent Browning - Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dressing before sealing the jar. This minimizes air exposure and helps maintain the bright green color.
