    Expert Tips

    This recipe makes about 1 cup of dressing or dip.

    Slightly mash up the avocado before blending.

    I used a high speed blender (Vitamix) but any blender or food processor will work. Just blend until no lumps remain.

    This Avocado Ranch Dressing is on the thicker side. If you prefer a runnier consistency, add more lime juice, buttermilk, or water to thin. Be sure to taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

    Store covered in the fridge.

    Avocado doesn't last long, so use this up within 3 days.
