Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe avocado, 1/4 cup almond milk, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried dill, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Make sure the avocado is ripe for a creamy texture.
- Add 1/4 cup of almond milk to the bowl with the avocado. This will help achieve the desired dressing consistency.
- Pour in 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. This adds a tangy flavor that complements the creaminess of the avocado.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. These will provide a savory depth to the dressing.
- Add 1 teaspoon of dried dill for a hint of herbal freshness. Dill pairs beautifully with the other flavors.
- Using a fork or a hand blender, mash and blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Start with a pinch of each and adjust according to your preference.
- Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or a jar. It can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Enjoy your Vegan Avocado Ranch Dressing as a salad dressing, dip, or spread!
Tips
- Avocado Ripeness is Key: Choose a perfectly ripe avocado that yields slightly when gently pressed. This ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
- Consistency Matters: If the dressing is too thick, gradually add more almond milk. If too thin, add a bit more avocado.
- Blend Like a Pro: Use a hand blender or food processor for the smoothest results. Avoid over-mixing to prevent separating.
- Fresh is Best: While this dressing keeps for a week, it's most delicious when fresh. The vibrant flavors are most pronounced within the first few days.
- Customize Your Herbs: Feel free to experiment with fresh dill or other herbs like chives or parsley for unique flavor variations.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
- Versatility Hack: Use this dressing as a dip, spread, or drizzle over roasted vegetables for maximum flavor impact!
