  Avocado Lime Ranch Salad Dressing 


Prepare the avocado.
       
Halve and pit 1 ripe Place the avocado in a food processor and add 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml) of hot sauce (like Tabasco) and 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh lime juice. Set the food processor to puree or high, and puree the avocado for 30 seconds or until it is a smooth paste.
  

2 Add the remaining ingredients.

        Lift the lid from the food processor and to the avocado add: 1/2 cup (120 ml) buttermilk or whole milk, 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise, 1 tbsp. (15 ml) diced red onion, 1 tbsp. (15 ml) chopped cilantro, 1 clove of garlic, 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml) white sugar, and 1 pinch each of salt and pepper.
 
  
 3 Pulse to combine the ingredients.

        Replace the lid on the food processor and pulse the ingredients 5 or 6 times for about 15 seconds each time until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. It may need a few more pulses if the garlic is not chopped finely enough.
   
4 Check the seasonings.

        Check the dressing for salt and pepper and adjust if required. You can add a bit more hot sauce at this point as well, if you want it a bit spicier.
 
  
 5 Refrigerate until ready to use.

        All mayonnaise and milk based products should be refrigerated when not being used. Refrigerate this dressing for up to 1 week.

Tips

    Avocado ranch dressing can be used as a sauce for grilled chicken burgers and it can be used as a dip for chicken nuggets, vegetables and shrimp.
    The acidity of the lime will help keep the avocado in the dressing from turning brown but keep your dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the flavors fresh.
