Avocado Ranch Dressing
Description
The recipe uses a high-powered blender to combine avocado and almond milk with lemon juice and olive oil for a creamy base. Incorporating garlic, onion powder, parsley, dill, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup layers in ranch-like flavors with a hint of herbaceousness and seasoning. Blending ensures a smooth texture without lumps.
The dressing’s richness comes from avocado’s natural creaminess, making it suitable as a salad dressing or a dip for cooked vegetables. Its dairy-free nature allows for use in various diets that avoid dairy ingredients.
The recipe yields about 3/4 cup and keeps in the refrigerator for one to two days for freshness. Adjusting almond milk can alter thickness to personal preference.
