Instructions

Put the avocado, buttermilk, sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper into a blender. Blend until combined and smooth, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the herbs and hot sauce. Taste and adjust the salt, pepper and hot sauce to your liking.
Pour into a jar or dressing shaker and store in the fridge until you are ready to use.

Notes

If you’d like extra creaminess, or to cut down on the tartness of the dressing, use the whole avocado, or add a tablespoon of mayo.

You can also use dehydrated dill if you can’t find fresh.
