Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium avocado, flesh only
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) green onion, chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, chopped
  • 3/4 cup (185 mL) freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) chopped chipotle pepper in adobo
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
  • For a milder dressing, use less chipotle pepper or scrape the seeds out before chopping. For more heat, add a little extra adobo sauce from the can.
  • To prevent browning during storage, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dressing before sealing it in an airtight container.
  • If the dressing is too thick for your liking, blend in more grapefruit or lime juice, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the perfect consistency.
  • For the smoothest possible texture, ensure your avocado is perfectly ripe and soft to the touch.

Method
 

  1. Place the avocado flesh, green onion, garlic, grapefruit juice, lime juice, maple syrup, chipotle pepper, and salt into a high-speed blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
