Avocado Buttermilk Green Goddess Dressing is a family favorite salad dressing! Two tablespoons serving is only 41 calories! Rich in protien and low in fat and cholestrol! Enjoy with salad or veggies! Use as a dressing for grilled veggies and meats too!
There is nothing more yummy to get the tastebuds ready for Spring, Summer, herbs, and lettuce than a low-fat Avocado Buttermilk Green Goddess Salad!
My Avocado Buttermilk Green Goddess Dressing with a salad and some fresh crab. The dressing is also delish on veggies, as a dip, with any fresh fish or on quinoa!
I love these scissors! They do a wonderful job of chopping and also have small circles on the wand which allow you to push the stem of the herb through and it pulls the leaves off the stem, genius!
For those of you who are fresh herb fans, this is the tool for you!
Now for everyone else, please people, it is time to eat more fresh herbs, they are fantastic.
My Avocado Buttermilk Green Goddess Dressing uses low-fat buttermilk, fresh herbs and lemon to give a lower calorie dressing that packs a punch!
I make this quite regularly and we have it on salads, my kids use it as a dip for veggies or an add in to rice or quinoa!

Eileen xo
Thank you Karen. I hope you make this soon. The scissors are my new best friend
Heather lawrence
Well shooot! I have those scissors in red and had NO IDEA that's what I was supposed to be using them for. I'm sure I have wrecked them now..I have been using them to shred paper for years 🙁
Question: If perhaps you weren't a hug fan of avocado (like my kids) could you actually taste the avocado?
I am toying with making this dressing and am hoping that the kids would love it.
Eileen xo
That is so funny about the scissors!
My oldest hates avocado, so I don't advise him of the addition. I say it is the herbs that add the color. He requests it for his chipotle chicken all the time and he has no idea there is avocado in it.... ssshhh I will not tell your son either 🙂 enjoy!
Robin Rue (@massholemommy)
I have a newly discovered love of avocados. I can't wait to try this dressing.

It looks like a great dressing, but I don't see avocados listed in the ingredients.

Lori, I cannot believe I had originally left out the avocado. Recipe has been adjusted to reflect the ingredient. whoops!
