Avocado Herb Dressing

Makes about 2 cups.

Note: This creamy dressing comes out in a pretty, soft shade of green. The acid in the buttermilk keeps the avocado from turning brown.

• 1/4 c. sour cream

• 1 c. buttermilk

• 3/4 tsp. dried savory

• 3/4 tsp. dried marjoram

• 1/4 tsp. salt

• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. pepper (to taste)

•1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Directions

In a medium bowl, mash avocado. Blend in sour cream. Add buttermilk and seasonings, whisking until smooth. Dressing will keep refrigerated up to 2 weeks.
