Avocado Dressing

Ingredients:

2 ripe avocados
Juice of one lime
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
A generous sprinkling of low-sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Tabasco hot sauce

Place the first six ingredients in a food processor, and turn it on. While the blade is spinning, stream in the extra-virgin olive oil and add the hot sauce. Stop processor, taste dressing and adjust seasonings as needed.

The dressing goes well on spinach or romaine. I serve it over a bed of greens, a sliced hard-boiled egg, and shredded cheddar. It's also delicious on a cobb salad.
