Creamy Avocado and Lime Dressing

This creamy avocado and lime dressing is the perfect way to add a bright, flavorful touch to your favorite salads, tacos, or burritos. It's made with just a few simple ingredients, and it comes together in just a few minutes.

The first time I had this dressing was at a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles. I was immediately hooked on its creamy texture and bright, tangy flavor. I asked the chef for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making it ever since, and it's become a staple in my kitchen.
