Avocado Aioli (Dressing, Sauce)

By SMorrissey

The traditional aioli recipe is similar to mayo, so somewhat high in fat. A couple of weeks ago, I saw a TV segment (sorry, I can't remember which show) making a few recipes from The Biggest Loser ranch. This Avocado Aioli was used on shrimp tacos, if I remember correctly, but it was designed to be a salad dressing. I have used it as a salad dressing, on chicken, on fish, and as a spread on sandwiches. It is great with any of those things!

Ingredients

• 1 avocado
• 1/3 c. plain Greek style yogurt
• 1 T. basil
• 2 t. garlic
• 1 t. lemon juice
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/4 t. pepper (I used fresh ground pepper)

Preparation

Step 1

I added the ingredients. I found that it mixed a little bit better when I did the avocado and lemon juice first, then added the basil, garlic, salt and pepper, and then added the yogurt last.
