Do you have a favorite food, or condiment, that you eat ALL of the time? So much so that you start to get bored with it? You don’t want to replace your favorite food, you just wish that the flavor would surprise you again like the first time you tried it. Don’t sit there looking confused, you know exactly what I’m talking about…..
When you bite into something and your eyes widen…Oooh….this is delicious!! So delicious that you continue eating it on a spoon, crackers, scraps of bread, anything you can get your hands on because it is just that good!!
That is how I have always felt about my Homemade Ranch Dressing, you want to drink it out of the jar. As much as I love it, it was time to mix things up!
I have added many ingredients to my Ranch Dressing over the years, chipotle, guacamole, even barbecue sauce. But I wasn’t in the mood for Mexican or tangy, just different…..Avocado!
How to make Avocado Ranch Dressing:
So I peeled a large avocado and placed it in a large bowl. I squeezed so lemon juice on top {about a Tablespoon} and mashed it until it was smooth{ish}…..
Then added milk {coconut/almond blend}, 1/2 a cup of mayonnaise since it has avocado, garlic, parsley, green onions, and 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar…..
And whisked it all together. Season with salt and pepper, whisk again, and pour into a jar or any container you have on hand…..
Place the Avocado Ranch Dressing in the refrigerator to chill before serving. You may need to add additional milk to thin if it appears to be too thick.
Store unused dressing in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. I have used mine 2 weeks later, well I think it was 2 weeks, I couldn’t remember when I made it and I didn’t drop dead so……

I’m all over this, Lisa! I love Ranch dressing, and adding avocado to it can only make 1,000 times better!
Oh man…2 of my very favorite things – Avocado and Ranch Dressing! Looks like it would be dangerously addicting; I bet I would be making things, just so I could have an excuse to use this dressing on top! 🙂
Visiting from Treasure Box Tuesday. I love avocado and have made an avocado salad dressing before which I loved, I shall be trying this soon! I would love for you to stop by and share this and other recipes with us over at Sweet and Savoury Sunday. Have a great day!
While I very rarely eat “creamy” type dressings, this sounds amazing! I would probably substitute my trusty plain Greek yogurt in for 1/2 the mayo though (you know, resolutions and such…) Saving and Pinning!
I love Ranch dressing – I use it on everything! This avocado version sounds delicious – I need to give it a try! 🙂
I need to try this with homemade mayo. Sounds like a great new dressing!
Yum! I love how you made a great dressing even better… with avocado. Pinning.
