Ingredients
- 1 ripe, medium avocado (peeled, pitted)
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (plain, unsweetened)
- 2-3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Fresh herbs (to pulse-in):
- 3 Tbsp. fresh parsley
- 2-3 Tbsp. fresh dill
- 1 Tbsp. fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients (except fresh herbs) in a small high-speed blender. (I use a NutriBullet which works great.) Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth.
- Chop herbs and add to blender. Pulse/blend for 2-3 seconds to combine. Taste and adjust flavors if desired. (More herbs, salt, vinegar, etc.)
- Serve immediately or store covered in the fridge to let flavors intensify and blend.

Notes
- Yield: Recipe makes about 1 2/3 cup dressing.
- Thickness: This dressing is thick & creamy! For a thinner consistency, start with 1/2 avocado, and work your way up from there.
- Storing: Store dressing in a sealed jar or other airtight container in the refrigerator. I find it keeps for about 4-5 days, but use your best judgement. Stir again before using.
- For a spicy ranch: Blend in jalapeño to taste.
