Instructions

1. Prep herbs and aromatics

   Rinse cilantro, basil, and mint leaves, pat dry, and remove stems. Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop the fresh chili, discarding seeds if you prefer less heat.

   Time: PT5M

2. Process herbs, garlic, and chili

   Add the cilantro, basil, mint, garlic, and chili to the food processor. Pulse until the herbs are very finely chopped but still visible as specks; avoid over‑processing into a uniform green paste.

   Time: PT2M

3. Add avocado

   Pit the ripe avocado, scoop the flesh into the processor, and blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

   Time: PT2M

4. Incorporate mayo and yogurt

   Add Japanese mayonnaise and Greek yogurt to the bowl. Pulse briefly to combine, creating a thick, velvety base.

   Time: PT1M

5. Add acidity and umami

   Stir in rice vinegar and Worcestershire sauce (or anchovy paste) for brightness and depth of flavor.

   Time: PT1M

6. Adjust consistency and season

   While the processor runs, drizzle in lime juice and olive oil to reach your desired thickness—more oil for a pourable dressing, less for a dip. Finish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

   Time: PT2M

7. Final blend and serve

   Give the dressing one last quick pulse to ensure everything is fully incorporated. Transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container.

   Time: PT1M
