Creamy Avocado and Red Pepper Dressing

This creamy avocado and red pepper dressing is a versatile and flavorful condiment that can be used to dress salads, wraps, or as a dip for vegetables. It's made with a combination of ripe avocados, roasted red bell peppers, tahini, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, olive oil, maple syrup, and salt. The resulting dressing is smooth, creamy, and packed with flavor.

The inspiration for this dressing came to me one day when I was making a salad and realized that I didn't have any dressing on hand. I had some avocados and red bell peppers on hand, so I decided to experiment and make my own dressing. I was so happy with the results that I decided to share it with you all.
