Crisp lettuces like iceberg and romaine are a perfect match for this creamy dressing. Shaved red onion, grape tomatoes, and crumbled bacon make excellent garnishes for greens tossed with this dressing. Use 1 to 2 tsp. this dressing per 4 C. greens, serving two.

1 avocado, halved and pitted
1 tsp. lime juice
½ tsp. hot sauce
½ C. buttermilk
¼ C. mayonnaise
1 tsp. minced red onion
1 tsp. minced fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced
½ tsp. sugar
¾ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper

Puree avocado, lime juice, and hot sauce in food processor until avocado is broken down, about 30 seconds. Add remaining ingredients and process until dressing is completely smooth. (Dressing can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
