Avocado Ranch Dip
Description
This recipe combines whole avocados, no-fat Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, nutritional yeast, chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, and kosher salt into a food processor to create a uniform, creamy dip. The yogurt adds tang and protein, while nutritional yeast introduces a subtle umami depth. Parsley contributes freshness and color. The lemon juice brightens the overall taste and helps maintain color. Blending all ingredients until smooth yields a versatile dip with a thick, spreadable texture.
Avocado Ranch Dip functions well as a vegetable dip, chip accompaniment, or sandwich spread. It can also be thinned with oil or water to serve as a salad dressing, offering flexibility for different serving uses. The flavor profile emphasizes the combination of creamy avocado and herbaceous ranch mix, enhanced by the nutty notes from nutritional yeast.
The dip stores refrigerated for up to five days. Using different types of yogurt or ranch mix adjusts the texture and seasoning, with salt added cautiously to balance sodium levels. Fresh parsley can be replaced with dried if needed, and the thickness can be tailored with added liquids.
Ingredients
- 2 large avocado
- 2/3 cup Greek yogurt no fat - whole
- 2 tablespoons Ranch dressing mix
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped, packed, fresh
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Add everything to the bowl of a food processor and blend until creamy.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store the dip refrigerated for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Choose your preferred brand of Greek yogurt, from non-fat to full fat, or use plain yogurt instead.
- Homemade or store-bought ranch dressing mix can be used; adjust added salt slowly if using store-bought varieties due to variable sodium.
- Substitute 1 tablespoon dried parsley if fresh is unavailable.
- To use as a salad dressing, thin the dip with oil or water, adding small amounts until desired consistency.
