This flavorful Cilantro Avocado Ranch Dressing will have you forgetting all about the traditional ranch.
My family is entire of picky ranch eaters. All of us will judge a restaurant based on its ranch.
When I first met my husband and we were dating, if a restaurant carried ranch dressing, he would ask to sample it before we even ordered. Humiliated, I thought this guy was a little crazy but just enough crazy that I kept dating him.
On one occasion, he didn’t care enough for their ranch that we walked out. I’m not kidding; it was so embarrassing.
Honestly, I am surprised he kept dating me because he called and told me he had the stomach flu before our second date, a date to the Nuggets game {box seats}. My entire family thought he was lying and snickered about it, but I knew he wouldn’t miss box seats for basketball games because he loves basketball.
Knowing his love for ranch the next day, I decided to head over to his house and drop off a sweet note and a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch. At the time, I had no idea how particular he was about this ranch dressing, and I was completely unaware of his total dislike for Hidden Valley Ranch.
But… he loved the gesture and waited a few weeks to tell me how much he hated that dress. I was so embarrassed, which seemed to be the theme of our first few weeks of dating.
Luckily, only nine months later, he asked for my hand in marriage, and it was destined that our children would, too, become ranch critics.
Homemade ranch is the way to go because you can get the texture and creaminess you want. I love making homemade ranch because you can add your spice or fresh veggies to switch it up a bit. We love my Taco Ranch Dressing, so we dig anything with a southwestern flare.
We had a taco salad night this past summer at Girl’s Camp, where I was the camp cook. I had some leftover cilantro from making homemade salsa and threw it into my ranch dressing. It was oh, so good. So when I threw it all together at home, I wanted my kids and me to be able to distinguish it from our other bottle of homemade ranch in the refrigerator. I wanted to add a little green color to it – so that’s when I added the avocado.
This Cilantro Avocado Ranch Dressing was an instant hit with the family.
The kids were using it as a dip for their chips and taquitos! I, of course, did too!
So whether you make this Cilantro Avocado Ranch Dressing to the top on a salad or need a game day or holiday dip. This Cilantro Avocado Ranch Dressing is the way to go.
