Guacamole Ranch Dressing - Fresh and Tasty!
As the dressing has fresh tomatoes & avocado in it, you will find it a great dressing for simple salads or grilled meats, as I've shown in these images. The chicken was simply cooked with a spice rub. After these pictures, the remaining dressing was used on a burrito, as well as a dip for carrot sticks and pita chips.
This is a low carb ranch dressing too, with just 2 net carbs per serving.

This recipe is easy to make. Printable recipe card is below with adjustable ingredient measures by servings.
Ingredients for the Dressing
Here is all you need to make the salad dressing/dip.
- Hass avocado
- low fat buttermilk*
- dry dill
- onion powder
- Kosher salt
- mayonnaise
- fresh garlic
- fresh lime juice

*If you can't find fresh buttermilk in your area add a tablespoon of vinegar to regular lowfat milk, or mix up a batch of my homemade dry Ranch seasoning.
Preparation
Simply add everything except the jalapeno and cilantro into a blender and pulse until smooth.
Then add the last two ingredients and pulse a couple times to chop.
Storing
Store the Guacamole Ranch Dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3-4 days.
Due to lack of preservatives, leftovers should be tossed after that.

This sounds really good. The only way I currently like avocado is in smoothies so I'll have to try this.

As a ranch junkie, you had me with the addition of the guacamole, but then to make it lower calorie, too? Sold!
