Creamy Avocado Ranch Dressing/Dip


There's been a few Avocados in the fridge for quite a while and I wanted to make a healthier salad dressing with them but kept pushing it off. I finally decided I'd better get it done before the avocados get yucky. I found what I was looking for here but adapted it to my taste. I ate it on my salad as a dressing and my hubby and I also used it as a fresh veggie dip with carrots, celery, and red peppers. It was delicious!

*I recently put together a dry mix for Ranch Dressing that I really like, and although I write these things down as I go, I somehow mislaid the paper. When I find it again I will let you know :)

½ Ripe Avocado, peeled
2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
¼ teaspoon Ranch Dressing Mix*
¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Sea Salt
Freshly Cracked Pepper

Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
