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.

    You mentioned that your husband worked a Chili’s I wondered if you might have a recipe like the dip they served with the south west egg rolls I thought it was avocado ranch but it has chunks of something in it?
    Thank you

    This is a delicious dressing. I more or less use it as a guide, meaning I’m casual about the measurements and use a whole avocado. Seems to enhance everything I put it on. I think it would be good on a taco salad or some version of a SW salad, too.

    Whipped this up this evening and it’s really good. Didn’t have the cilantro, and I used a whole avocado. I get a little tired of cilantro in avocado dressing anyway, so no problem. My palate wanted a squeeze of lemon, then…perfect!

    Can’t wait to try this, but I am wondering if I can use quacamole in place of the avocado and mayo, or one or the other? I have a lot of quac that I would love to use up. It is the Wholly brand minis

    Hi there! I would love to try this recipe along with the jalapeno ranch one as well but both call for cilantro. I just don’t care for the taste of cilantro (I’m one of the people who has the gene that cilantro tastes like dish soap). I know crazy. Haha Do you have a suggestion for a substitute? Thank you!

      Hi Brooke, the cilantro does add a really nice flavor but I would suggest substituting it with parsley.

    Your recipes are fantastic! I have your webpage on the home screen of my phone. Wondering how this would taste on chicken soft tacos? And if it would be too thick to add to a squeeze bottle?Kind of like your fish taco sauce. Let me know your thoughts please Natasha? Thanks!

    Thanks for this recipe…it is yummy. I wonder if you could give a breakdown on nutrition: calories/carbs/fat. Based on your recipe, I think a serving would be 4 tablespoons…is that right? I love this on salad with a chicken or salmon patty!

        I love avocado ranch dressing esp the chili’s one… But mine was so. Bitter we had to throw it out! Don’t know what went wrong…. I’ve had the same experience while making giada de laurentis’ avocado pasta dressing – Any ideas where I’m going wrong!???
