Avocado Salad with Carrot Ginger Dressing
This avocado salad with carrot ginger dressing is sure to become a favorite simple side salad for weeknight meals!
Just popping in with a quick recipe today! I'd do my usual bloggy thing and fill up webspace talking about the recipe, life, intuitive eating, yada yada, but I managed to slice my finger open making vegetarian banh mi's tonight, so this whole typing thing isn't going so well. I actually had to layer on two bandaids because it was bleeding so bad - eek!
Anyway, this carrot dressing is pretty addictively good and this salad is super simple. Serve it with seared fish or topped with quinoa to make a complete meal. Enjoy leftover dressing with blanched or raw vegetables as a snack or use as a dipping sauce for dumplings or spring rolls.
