Southwest Chop Salad

This is a very loose interpretation of a Pinterest recipe that I came across.  I've been looking for a good avocado salad dressing recipe.  This one was pretty good as is, but we all enjoyed it more with a few additions and subtractions :)

For the Dressing:

2 Ripe Avocados
2 Cloves Garlic
1/2 C Plain Coconut Yogurt (you can substitute any plain yogurt here)
2-3 Tbsp Vegan Sour Cream
1 Jalapeño (with or without seeds depending on how spicy you like it!)
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Juice from 1 lime
2-3 Tbsp Plain Coconut Milk
Salt & Pepper to taste

In a food processor place the the first 7 ingredients.  Mix until smooth.  Slowly add in the coconut milk until you reach a desired consistency - slightly runny.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

For the salad I chopped some dinosaur kale and added spring mix.  On top I placed some diced tomatoes, black olives, diced onion, and canned sweet corn.  You could also add some black or pinto beans, cilantro, mushrooms, bell peppers, or whatever you have on hand for a salad.  Be creative!
