Thick and rich with an enjoyable tangy and salty bite, this caper and avocado dressing is ideal for a simple romaine salad.

3 tablespoons shallots, peeled and finely minced
1-1/2 tablespoons capers, soaked for 10 minutes in 1/2 cup water
1/2 tablespoon garlic, peeled and finely minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/8 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/8 cup water
1/8 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

Comments on "Caper and Avocado Dressing"

This recipe does nothing to enhance the mild taste of avocado. It's also quite thick. If I make it again, I'll use lemon juice only and no mustard, oregano or olive oil at all. Not at all what I was expecting.
