Avocado Cilantro Greek Yogurt Dressing

So my last post was all about desserts - While I was making those this past Sunday afternoon, we were watching a documentary called Fed Up about the obesity crisis in America - and the horrible food choices we make and the things the government has done to make it worse instead of better. As we watched, we decided we couldn't actually eat the lime cheesecake bars - hence the reason I froze them or took them to the neighborhood BBQ. We found that documentary referenced in a book called Eat Fat, Get Thin. The book has some good ideas - but it is super wordy and hard to read. Myles and Pierce watched it with us, and Pierce even said we better start doing a better job with our food choices.

So today for breakfast I made whole grain toast spread with mashed avocado seasoned with lemon juice, salt and better, and topped with an egg. YUMMY! - Even the kids liked it. Genna ate it too and she claims to hate eggs. The other 3 asked for seconds. Although mid prep on the seconds, Pierce decided he was too full. Then for lunch I made a  green salad and top it with a homemade dressing. It was really good! The kids all ate it even though they complained about having salad - AGAIN!

It makes 2 cups or 16 servings. A 2 Tbsp serving is only 40 calories. But you will probably eat more than 2 Tbsp.

1 avocado
1/2 c plain greek yogurt (we use the Kirland brand)
1/2 -1 bunch cilantro (I had some in the fridge and threw it in- probably more than 1/2 a bunch)
1 lime, juice and zest
2 Tbsp lime juice - I didn't measure, just poured some in from the bottle
1/2 tsp garlic powder - didn't measure that either
1 tsp salt - didn't measure here either
pepper to taste
1/2 c water

Put the avocado, cilantro and yogurt in a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Add lime juice and zest, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Scrap into a bowl and add water. It was thick dressing - we used a spoon to serve it. It would be a GREAT dip too. You could add more water or lime juice to make it pour-able. But I liked how it turned out.
