Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup avocado
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (you can sub with fresh garlic to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black salt (Black salt is also called kala namak. If it's unavailable, sub with regular table salt or sea salt)

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender, blending until smooth. The black salt will smell very sulfur-y when you open the blender jar, but this will dissipate quickly.

Notes

About Black Salt 

Black salt is actually pink in colour. Also known as kala namak, it has an eggy flavour that makes it a useful replacement for eggs in some recipe applications. 

Storage

The large quantity of lemon juice in this dressing helps keep it fresh. You can keep the salad dressing in your fridge, in a well-sealed container for about 7 days.
