Vegan Avocado Green Goddess Dressing

Looking for a salad dressing that your kids will love more than you?! This is it!

As soon as I pulled out the avocados, herbs and lemons….my two little boys ran around the kitchen shouting “Delicious!” and awaiting their “smoothie” hahaha. While this is not a smoothie, if your kid loves avocados as much as mine do…you might as well just let them drink it straight up.

More Kid Tips: The herbs can be added or not…as you wish. I would test out what the littles ones like and dislike by making super small batches with just a fork. Simply mash up some avocado and add in a pinch of parsley and basil. See how it goes. If they like it then go ahead and make a big batch of it! If not, you may want to swap out for a different herb or take the herbs out all together and just use spinach. Be sure to blend until VERY smooth. You can also use a cup of cannellini beans or garbanzo beans!
