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.

This avocado ranch has a thick, creamy consistency and irresistible flavor! It’s delicious as a veggie dip or salad dressing.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients 

Servings: 6 servings (makes 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 4 Tbsp sour cream
  • 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/2 large avocado, or 1 smaller avocado
  • 1 Tbsp cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp dijon mustard, we used Grey Poupon brand
  • 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
  • 3/4 tsp salt, or to taste (I used sea salt)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor, pulse to combine then blend until smooth, scraping down the bowl if needed.
  • Season with more salt and pepper to taste if desired (I didn't think it needed any) and serve as a dip or salad dressing. Refrigerate any unused portion in a small airtight container (the less air inside, the better) up to 3 days.

    Hi Natasha!

    Substitutes for the Dijon mustard?

      Hi Malak, I haven’t tried a different kind of mustard but I suspect you could replace with a different mustard. It would still be tasty if you left the mustard out of the recipe since it is only 1/2 tsp.

    I was wondering if you keep it for three days in the refrigerator, does it change color? I would like to make this for a shower.

      Great question! The vinegar reference was for the Tobasco sauce, one of the main ingredients in Tobasco is vinegar 🙂 I hope that helps!

    Whisk in a couple of mashed (not pureed) avocadoes and 2 cups of chicken broth and chill for several hours. Makes THE most fantastic chilled summer soup you’ve ever tasted!! My guests rave every time I make it!

    Thanks for the avocado ranch recipe. Can’t wait to try it. Would love it if you came up with more dressings like vinegarettes or regular ranch, chipolte ranch for instance. I love making my own dressings.
