{Nourish} Avocado, Cucumber and Lime Dressing

We swapped creamy avocado for oil in this flavorful dressing.  Refreshing and bright, the flavors are a taste of spring/summer during cold winter months.  This recipe would be great tossed on a salad, veggies or fish.  You could even serve this as a creamy cold soup.  No matter the use…this recipe is a must try!
