Hi there, I am back with yet another delicious salad dressing.  Do you love Avocados? Are you addicted to them like I am?  Well, this dressing is for you!!!   The first time I tried  Avocado was in a dip and believe me I was hesitant, it looked weird, green color????    I dipped  the nacho in the guacamole and it tasted so good!!   I remember going back home and telling my mom that next time we go to the supermarket we need to pick up a few Avocados, I have been hooked on them since then and that was a  long long long time ago. 🙂

 A pretty simple 1-2-3 mix it all together recipe which is delicious!! 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Sounds good but that's a lot of time to prepare the nectar of gods ... I prefer my advo's cut in half with a little bit of lemon juice and salt! YUM

    Love avocados, but I don't have a food processor. I prefer to enjoy them with just salt in sandwiches. 😋

      I didn't have one either for many years and now with the blog I couldn't do many recipes so I saved up for almost a year before I was able to purchase one....this is what being unemployed and on a budget does :)

    Sophie, we love avocados! :-) Looks delicious! To be honest... I was not a big fan of avocado at the beginning, however with time and thanks to my husband I am absolutely in love with avocados and cannot imagine my food habits now without it :-) Great recipe!
