Everyone loves a great ranch dressing for everything from salads to dipping pizza crust. Adding avocado to the mix makes it velvety, rich, and is 1000x better than any store bought avocado dressing I’ve tried.
A Dressing or Topping
We love dressings that do double or even triple duty!
Drizzle this dressing over a tossed salad or use it in an avocado pasta salad. It makes for a great dip for fresh veggies, crackers or even pita. Use it to top your favorite chicken tacos or fajitas!
Ingredients
AVOCADO Of course creamy avocado (with all the nutrition benefits!) is the real MVP here. DAIRY & MAYO Mayonnaise & sour cream are typical in a creamy dressing and add both texture and a nice tangy flavor. A splash of milk thins this dressing for salads. To cut a few calories, switch out the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt. LEMON No lemon? Switch out for lime juice, or a little white vinegar. Something acidic is needed to help keep the avocado from turning brown.
How to Make Avocado Ranch Dressing
Tasty, tangy, and even pretty, avocado ranch dressing is easy to make and perfect to drizzle on all your favorites from salads to chicken wings! Keep in a salad dressing cruet or a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid, chill at least 30 minutes before using.
Adding mayonnaise to the dip and processing for too long (when blending the avocado smooth) can change the texture and cause it to separate. Mix the sour cream and avocado until smooth and then add the mayo. Perfectly smooth! This can be left thick as a dip or thinned out for drizzling or tossing with salads. If you have buttermilk on hand, it adds nice tang!
How to Store
Avocado ranch dressing will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days, but we’re sure you’ll use it up before then!
