Greener Goddess Dressing
This traditional thick and creamy garden dressing, full of scallions, garlic, and herbs, gets a healthy, buttery boosts from the addition of super-ripe avocado. I love both avocado and tarragon with seafood, so I think this is a cool alternative to cocktail sauce with shrimp, and nothing beats it with a fresh, all-green crudités platter.
