Instructions

Add the flesh of the avocados to your blender, along with the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dijon mustard, garlic, scallions, basil, chives, and salt and pepper.
Blend on high speed until very smooth. If the dressing appears too thick (this will depend on the consistency of the yogurt and the avocados), add a tablespoon of water to the blender and blend again until smooth. Add water one tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is reached.
Pour into a mason jar or other airtight container and chill in the fridge for about one hour before serving.
Serve over your favourite garden salad or use as a dip for fresh veggies!
