Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 avocado, large, creamy, perfectly ripe
• 1/3 cup olive oil, fruity (100 ml)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed (30 ml)
• 4 teaspoons sugar (20 ml)
• 2 tablespoons low-fat yogurt, plain, low-fat (30 ml)
• 2 tablespoons water (30 ml)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest (from the lemon you're using, 5 ml)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper (5 ml)
• 2 teaspoons flaked sea salt (maybe less for fine salt, 10 ml)
• 5 dashes tabasco sauce (or any hot sauce to taste, but don't overdo it)

Recipe

• 1 scoop out the avo flesh into a medium mixing bowl, and whisk to smooth. (you can do all this in a blender as well).
• 2 add all the ingredients as given.
• 3 whisk with a wire whisk, or use a blender.
• 4 taste for seasoning. do not overdo the pepper taste, as it will spoil the fresh avo taste.
• 5 leave for a while -- 30-60 minutes -- at room temperature for flavour to settle. the lemon juice will prevent discolouring.
• 6 use as a dressing for salads, fish, or as an extra on bruschetta. whatever. nice with smoked chicken!
