Avocado Ranch Dressing Recipe
Description
The recipe involves combining a large ripe avocado with mayonnaise, fresh parsley, lemon juice, fresh dill, green onion greens, and pinch of salt and black pepper. These ingredients are pureed until smooth in a blender, and water is added gradually to thin the dressing to preferred thickness.
The flavors meld together best if the dressing is left to rest for about 15 minutes before serving, though it can be used immediately. The result is a creamy ranch-style dressing with avocado’s natural richness and fresh herb notes.
This dressing can accompany salads, be used as a dip for vegetables, or as a sauce on sandwiches. The use of fresh dill, parsley, and green onion provide brightness while avocado and mayonnaise create a smooth, luscious texture.

Instructions
