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.
