Kefir Makes a Tasty Salad Dressing Base

Our Kingdom Kefir is a popular snack and smoothie ingredient, lauded for being low in calories and heavy on healthful probiotics. It also readily transforms into a variety of great salad toppers be they made of fruit or greens. Kefir, unlike Greek yogurt, is already the perfect consistency for making dressing.

Although we think this Avocado-Kefir dressing is dynamite on summer tomatoes, we also love it with beets and roasted potatoes, or as a taco topper or veggie dip.
