Spicy avocado marinade

Hi friends! I hope you all had a relaxing memorial day and weekend. We had fun just hanging around town, taking walks, eating with friends, and cuddling with Lewis.

I made this cilantro avocado buttermilk dressing last Friday to go with our dinner salads. Jeff loved it on his but I didn't think it was anything very special. Partially because I put in an entire jalapeno and the spiciness overwhelmed all of the other flavors. Anyway, I had a bunch leftover and decided to use it as a marinade on some chicken breasts a few nights later. It was amazing! Here is the recipe with a few slight changes or you can follow the link for the original

Ingredients:

3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk

1 small jalapeno

1/4 cup of fresh cilantro

1 medium avocado

1-2 cloves garlic

2 tbsp chopped scallion or onion ( I didn't have any onion or scallion and it turned out fine)

juice of 1 lime

1/4 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper

1/2 tsp kosher salt and more to taste

Method:


Throw everything into a blender and blend until smooth
Pour over chicken/turkey/ salmon and let sit refrigerated for a few hours
grill/bake and enjoy!
