Creamy Avocado and Roasted Red Pepper Dressing
This creamy, vibrant dressing is a versatile condiment that will elevate any salad or roasted vegetable dish. The avocado provides a luscious creaminess, while the roasted red peppers add a touch of sweetness and smokiness. The lemon juice brightens the flavors, and the nutritional yeast adds a subtle cheesy note. This dressing is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
The inspiration for this dressing came to me one day when I was trying to figure out what to do with some leftover roasted red peppers. I had already made a batch of hummus, and I was looking for something else to use them in. I started experimenting with different ingredients, and eventually, I came up with this dressing. I've been making it ever since, and it's become one of my favorite ways to use roasted red peppers. This dressing is not only delicious, but it's also very versatile. It can be used on salads, roasted vegetables, or even as a dip for chips or crackers. It's also a great way to add some extra nutrients to your diet. Avocados are a good source of healthy fats, and roasted red peppers are a good source of vitamins and minerals.
