I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some ripe avocados. I had been wanting to make a mint-based dressing for a while, and I thought that avocado would be the perfect addition. I started by blending together avocado, mint, lime juice, and olive oil. The resulting dressing was delicious, but it was a little too thick. I added a little bit of honey to thin it out, and the dressing was perfect.
