Lime Vinaigrette
Juice of 2 to 3 limes, (about 1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the avocados, tomatoes and pine nuts.
Make vinaigrette: In a blender, combine the lime juice, honey, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend on medium speed for a few seconds, and then reduce the speed to low. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified. Pour into a container or jar and mix in the cilantro. Keep any leftover vinaigrette covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Add vinaigrette to salad. Toss gently
Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve chilled.
