Creamy Avacado Dressing

This is a tasty, dressing that is delicious on plain lettuce, or topping a plate of salad with the works.

Creamy Avacado Dressing

1 avocado peeled, pitted & diced
1/2 cup lite sour cream 'or' fat-free plain yogurt
1/4 - 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
1 TBSP. lemon juice
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
pepper to taste
salt to taste as needed
milk to thin to desired consistency

In a food processor, place the avocado, sour cream, blue cheese, cottage cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until fairly smooth. Will be a bit chunky still, and that is fine. If desired, add milk a TBSP. at a time, pulsing until it is the desired consistency. Without the milk, this is a thick dressing. I only use about 3 TBSP, and it's still fairly thick, but I like it this way. Add any extra salt if needed, adjust to taste. Cover, and chill for 30 minutes. It's ready to use anytime after that. The 1/4 cup of blue cheese makes for a mild dressing so I imagine the 1/2 cup kicks it up a notch.
Makes about 2 cups
