Notes
- Adding mayonnaise to the dip and processing for too long (when blending the avocado smooth) can change the texture and cause it to separate. Mix the sour cream and avocado until smooth and then add the mayo. Perfectly smooth!
- This can be left thick as a dip or thinned out for drizzling or tossing with salads. If you have buttermilk on hand, it adds nice tang!
- Avocado ranch dressing will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days, but we’re sure you’ll use it up before then!
