CITRUS AVOCADO DIP OR DRESSING

• ¼ cup orange juice 
• zest and juice of 1 lime
• 1 Tbsp cilantro (if desired)
• salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until very smooth. You may have to scrape down the sides a few times, but it should get very smooth, light, and airy. Taste and add additional salt or pepper, as needed.
2. To use as a salad dressing, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to the dressing and whisk or blend to incorporate well, until you've got it as thin as you like.
3. This will keep 3-4 days in the refrigerator, or can be frozen for 1-2 months in an airtight container. To use, simply thaw in your refrigerator or a bowl of cold water. Whisk to bring everything back together and serve cold!
