Trent Bonner says:
If I went with almond milk would the measurement stay the same? Would it be 1 tbsp of almond milk?
Christine McMichael replied:
Yes it would! Feel free to play around with the amount of almond milk to get the consistency you need. However, I would start with replacing the 1 Tbsp with almond milk. Enjoy! 🙂

The salad dressing looks so cool and refreshing. How well/long does it keep in the fridge. There is only myself and my hubby. Thank you catherine
Christine McMichael replied:
Hi, Catherine! Because of the avocado, this recipe will only last about a day in the refrigerator. You can try adding more lime juice and mixing it in after a few hours to make it last longer, but I haven’t tried that yet. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

Hello from Mexico I tried this dressing and loved it but was wondering what did you throw on top of your dressing that looks like bits. I am dying to know as it just makes it look more appealing with the bits.
Gracias from Merida Mexico,
