Notes

Adapted from Jamie Oliver’s Green Goddess Dressing.
 
Avocado oxidises quickly once blended — press a sheet of cling film directly against the surface before refrigerating, and use within two days.
 
The ginger in the lime juice sits underneath the herbs and chilli rather than announcing itself — you might not identify it directly, but the dressing tastes noticeably flatter without it.
 
Loosen gradually with water rather than all at once. It’s easy to overshoot and end up with a dressing that’s too thin to cling to a salad.
