Ranch just got a little bit more interesting. I have yet to find something that this Avocado Buttermilk Ranch Dressing doesn’t taste good on!
Avocados are pretty much my most favorite thing EVER. Love them anyway I can get them and the thought of pairing that creamy deliciousness with buttermilk ranch gets me drooling every time. This isn’t your ordinary ranch by any means. It’s got loads of flavor from the cilantro and garlic and holy moly is it creamy!
My boys are ranch addicts. There. I said it. They would honestly put it on anything. Maybe you can relate?
This avocado ranch is no different. It’s perfect for salads – of course! But it’s also great as a dip – chips, fresh veggies, you name it! We just can’t get enough of it and the great thing is, it’s pretty gosh-darned healthy.
If you need the dressing to be thicker, more like a dip, just add another half of an avocado. Want in thinner? Maybe to drizzle over the top of some nachos or enchiladas? Add some more buttermilk or even regular milk. Apple cider vinegar also does the trick.
No matter what you put this on, you’re going to love it!
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 avocado
- 1-2 garlic clove(s)
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 2 tsp fresh lime juice
- ⅓ cup cilantro
- 2 Tbls chopped fresh dill (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Blend all ingredients until smooth.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
This dressing would go great with…
Spicy Blackened Shrimp Skillet Nachos
Rosemary Buttermilk Ranch Chicken Skewers

I LOVE this Trish!!! Thanks for linking up with Show Stopper Saturday! :)
Thank you so much Taylor!
I bet this would be an excellent spread on a chicken sandwich; this seems like an easy boost to lunch for when I am in a hurry!
Oh yes! Great idea!!
Sounds amazing!! How long will it last in the fridge?
A good 4-5 days…if it lasts that long ;) Thanks for visiting!
Has anyone tried this with almond milk?
I haven’t Merry. I know it would alter the flavor pretty substantially and I’m not sure about the acidity in almond milk. Buttermilk has quite a bit. Let me know if you give it a try!
Has anyone tried this with coconut milk?
OMG, how did I miss this?! Awesome dressing, Trish! I’m in love :)

LOL! I don’t know but thank you!!
I was wondering if anyone knows the shelf life on this… I want to make it but I am the only one eating so I didnt know if i would need to adjust the quantity.
Thanks
If it’s just you Lindsay I would definitely cut in half or less. This makes quite a bit.
Sounds seriously delicious!
This dressing looks delicious. I was wondering if you had the calorie count for it?
I sure don’t Lisa but just google “nutrition calculator” and you can just pop the ingredients in. Enjoy!
