Author Notes:

  • This can be used for salads, tacos, quesadillas, on nachos, or as a dip for your veggies.
  • Keep in mind, if you want it more of a chunky sauce-blend it less. If you want it thin for a dressing-blend it longer. The dressing will be more of a greener color the more it is puréed.

Can this be frozen?

Hi Margi

Thanks for your comment. I don't recommend freezing this dressing as it contains dairy which tends to curd when thawing after freezing!

Have a fabulous day!
