Too much garlic and onion
So quick and easy, and good flavor, but two cloves of garlic and two tablespoons of onion overpower the other flavors. Will try again with half the amounts of garlic and onion.

Good way to use ripe avocados
This dressing is good as written, but I thought it needed some acid, so I added a couple of tablespoons of white wine vinegar. I plan to use it on a side salad to accompany broccoli-cheddar soup (also made in the Vitamix).

Not low fat
Be careful with the search criterion. Sadly this is "not" a low fat recipe. Even if it is a healthy type of fat, avocados are still very high in fat and not considered a low fat food.
