Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup coconut yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the coconut yogurt to the bowl with the avocado, ensuring the avocado is soft and easily mashable.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice directly into the bowl to prevent avocado browning and add brightness to the ranch dressing.
- Sprinkle dried dill and garlic powder over the mixture, which will provide herbaceous and savory flavor profiles.
- Using a whisk or fork, thoroughly blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy, breaking down any avocado chunks.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- For optimal flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow ingredients to meld together.
- Before serving, give the ranch dressing a quick stir and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Transfer to a serving bowl or storage container, and use as a dip, dressing, or condiment.
Tips
- Choose the Perfect Avocado: Make sure to select a ripe avocado for the creamiest texture. It should yield slightly when gently pressed.
- Customize Your Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with additional herbs and spices! Adding fresh chives, parsley, or a pinch of cayenne pepper can give your ranch a unique twist.
- Chill for Best Flavor: For the ultimate flavor experience, refrigerate the ranch dressing for at least 15-30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner dressing, simply add a splash of water or more coconut yogurt until you reach your desired consistency.
- Perfect Pairings: This vegan ranch is versatile! Use it as a dip for fresh veggies, a dressing for salads, or a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before using!
