I was looking for a new salad dressing that I could whip up quickly and that would go well with arugula when I came across this Creamy Cilantro Dressing recipe. It sounded like the perfect candidate for my chicken, apple and arugula salad.

How to Make the Cilantro Dressing Extra Creamy

For the best flavor and to make the dressing extra creamy, simply add one avocado. And blend with the remaining ingredients.

Ingredients

The ingredients are simply cilantro, yogurt, lemon or limes, olive oil, salt, pepper and onion powder. And, like I said, for extra creamy (and flavor) and one avocado.

Equipment Needed

The only equipment needed is a blender or food processor. And, of course, a way to cut the lemon or lime and avocado.
