Love ranch?? You will flip for this avocado ranch dressing and dip! It has a thick, creamy consistency and irresistible flavor! It’s so good as an avocado ranch dip or salad dressing.
We first fell in love with avocado ranch at Chilis restaurant (my husband worked there for 5 years before we got married) and we both agreed this homemade version is even better!
It has really simple ingredients, isn’t overly salty, and it couldn’t get any easier – toss everything into a blender or food processor and whirl it up for the smoothest and prettiest avocado ranch dressing. Store-bought dressing can’t touch this!! “Da-na-na-na, can’t touch this” (I don’t always quote MC Hammer, but this was highly applicable).
Watch How to Make Avocado Ranch Dressing and Dip:
Serve this avocado ranch dressing over any green salad like this shrimp avocado or this BLT salad, or use it as a dip for crisp vegetables, chicken strips, chicken nuggets, parmesan potato wedges, you name it. It’s just GOOD!
My son absolutely loves this which is a big deal because if he had his way, he would dip everything he ate into ranch or fry sauce. I was so happy he loved it because I know exactly what went into this homemade avocado ranch.
Seriously you guys!! Make this dip today and if you’re serving avocado ranch dip at a party, definitely double the recipe because it disappears fast!

I think that beautiful green glow is part of what makes this completely irresistible on party platters. It’s one of those recipes you’ll make again and again!
In your video, you say with the “vinegar already in there”, I don’t see anywhere in the recipe that says to add vinegar?
HI Lisa, I meant the vinegar in the Tabasco sauce. I hope you love the avocado ranch recipe!
