Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup Greek Yogurt
  • ½ avocado
  • ½ cup torn kale from about 1 large leaf
  • Juice and zest of one lemon
  • 1 small clove of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Flavor Enhancers

  • 1 tablespoon capers plus 1 tablespoon of the juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • ½ cup soft-leaf herbs (basil, mint, dill, cilantro, parsley, tarragon, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Gather all the ingredients, wash the fresh herbs and kale leaves thoroughly, and pat them dry. Tear the kale into small pieces for easier blending.
  2. Combine in a blender or food processor: Place the Greek yogurt, avocado, torn kale, lemon juice and zest, garlic clove, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, capers with their juice, chopped chives, and soft-leaf herbs into a blender or food processor.
  3. Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients at medium-high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning: Taste the dressing and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference for balance and brightness.
  5. Serve or store: Use immediately as a dressing or dip, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days to allow flavors to meld further.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess and richness; non-fat varieties can be substituted but may alter texture.
  • The variety of soft-leaf herbs can be customized based on preference or availability.
  • Avocado ripeness affects the creaminess; use ripe avocado for best texture.
  • This dressing is naturally gluten-free and suitable for many dietary preferences.
  • Store leftover dressing in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days.
