SPICY AVOCADO DRESSING - About 2 cups

1/4 cup fresh cilantro
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 good sized green onion
1 plump garlic clove
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Generous 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Puree everything in a blender until smooth. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving, so flavours mingle and get all happy, happy. Store in fridge and finish within a few days.
