Vegan Avocado Dressing (Homemade & Easy)

This vegan avocado dressing recipe is creamy, homemade, healthy and so easy to make! In addition, it’s gluten free, dairy free, simple, and perfect for kale salad!

This avocado cilantro dressing is refreshing so it’s perfect for summer salads. Avocado makes it creamy just like my avocado crema recipe or avocado ranch dressing and also tastes great!

When you massage kale with this dressing, it really helps soak in all the flavors but it doesn’t make it soggy. A combination of lime and cilantro really works together and also give that tangy flavor.

Before we jump into the recipe, let’s talk about how you can customize it and learn some tips.

How to make Vegan avocado dressing

Ingredients

Avocado

It’s the star of the show and the key ingredient in this recipe. Make sure to use a ripe one because it will make it creamy.

Avocado Oil (sub for Olive Oil)

We will use just a little bit of oil but you can try to omit for an oil free version. It may change the taste but it will still be delicious!

Cilantro

Fresh cilantro gives so much flavor but I know some people really don’t like it. You can try to sub for parsley but I think that would really change the taste.

Lime Juice

Freshly squeezed lime juice gives this dressing a tangy flavor so it’s a must. I don’t recommend using a bottle version because I don’t think it tastes fresh.

Mustard

Another ingredient that gives tanginess and also depth to this dressing. My favorite mustard to use is the brown mustard but dijon mustard also works great.

Garlic

I love anything that has garlic but I would be cautious adding too much here. I only added 1 clove because we won’t cook this recipe, raw garlic can be overpowering.

Maple Syrup

Just a little maple syrup provides that sweetness but play around with the measurement. If you like a sweeter taste, you can also add more.

Salt

I love using pink Himalayan salt for almost all my recipes but you can use just regular sea salt.
