How to Make Avocado Ranch Light Version

  1. Combine 1 ripe avocado, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup buttermilk (or milk), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If needed, add a tablespoon or two of water to achieve desired consistency.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lime juice for extra zing, or salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step is optional, but recommended.
