Green Paleogodess Dressing (or Dip)

"creamy and tangy"

1 Tbs. macadamia nut butter
2 Tbs. lemon juice or red wine vinegar
2 tsp. water (omit if making dip)
dash of sea salt (optional)
1/2 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
3 tsp. dried chives
2 tsp. dried dill
2 tsp. dried parsley
2 small cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 tsp. dry mustard powder
1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil

Place salt, lemon juice or vinegar and water into a small bowl. Whisk until salt is dissolved. Add nut butter, whisk until thoroughly combined. Whisk in pepper, herbs and spices. Slowly whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil, whip until creamy and smooth. Add more oil if desired.

Those with nut allergies might use half an avocado instead of the nut butter. You'd probably want to emulsify the dressing with a stick blender, omitting the herbs until after this is done. A whisk will leave the avocado pretty chunky. This makes a very good dip.
