Our family's favorite Mexican restaurant serves an Avocado Ranch Dressing that keeps us coming back for more. I love it on my taco salad and the kids love to dip chicken strips into it. After a little experimentation I've found the right mixture that re-creates the dressing our family loves on Mexican foods.
The best part is that with a few changes it also makes a great dip for veggies or chips.
Recipe for Avocado Ranch Dressing
Ingredients
- 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
- 3/4 cup Sour Cream
- 3/4 cup Hellmann's Mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup Milk
- 1 ripe Avocado
In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients except the avocado and set aside. Cut avocado in half, remove seed and scoop out the avocado from the skin. Place avocado into a food processor and blend until smooth. If you do not have a food processor you can mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Stir the avocado into the prepared dressing until well blended. Put into the refrigerator until chilled.
This dressing is great on taco salads and other Mexican dishes.
Awesome Avocado Ranch Dip
The dip version of this dressing is just a bit thicker and great for dipping veggies and tortilla chips. It can also be used as a topping on Mexican foods.
To create a dip with this recipe simply omit the milk in the above recipe and increase the sour cream and mayonnaise to 1 cup each.
