Creamy Jalapeño Lime Dressing

 

Raise your hand if you love the versatility of beans. (Our hands are high!) White beans give this healthy dressing some texture, as well as protein and fiber. The healthy fat in the avocado not only gives it creaminess but will also help the dressing stick to your greens a bit better. Swap a bell pepper in place of jalapeno if you want to skip the spice — it’s still delicious!
