L.'s "Put It On Everything" Avocado and Arugula Dressing

Another recipe that was greater than the sum of its parts. You wouldn't think that this would be anything but a pleasant little sauce but this is a keeper! We enjoyed it on cold poached salmon but will be making it again to use as a dressing for tomato salad, as a spread for cold chicken sandwiches, as an add-in to plain hummus, as a binder for tuna or egg salad in the place of mayonnaise, and I will admit to stirring the remainder into the salmon rillettes that I made with the leftover salmon with which we originally ate it.

Makes a generous cup of sauce.

1 avocado, peeled and stoned (a good outlet for that not quite ripe avocado in your fruit bowl)

1/2 cup of baby arugula leaves

Juice from 1/2 lemon

2 Tbsps mayonnaise

1 tsp rice wine vinegar

1/4 tsp cumin powder

1 Tbsp chopped preserved lemon (a must make anyway)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
