How to Make Chick Fil A Avocado Dressing

In your food processor or high speed blender, combine everything but milk, blend until smooth.

Add small amounts of milk until desired consistency is reached store in a mason jar, sealed.

Do You Use Homemade Greek Yogurt In Avocado Ranch Dressing

I reach for Greek yogurt in my avocado dressing for many reasons! It adds a creamy texture you can't get from regular milk alone. And then you also make it a bit healthier by adding in extra nutrients and of course protein.

A lot of recipes call for mayonnaise, while it might add flavor, you are also gaining a lot of fat and extra calories. Swapping with yogurt, you don't lose flavor and you skip the unwanted calories.

Is Avocado Ranch Healthy

Avocados used in a dressing adds a lot of nutrients and monounsaturated fats which are good fats. Pair with the Greek yogurt, and it makes it a healthier version of your favorite ranch dressing.

Can I Use Fresh Herbs In Avocado Ranch Dressing Recipe

Yes, if you prefer using fresh parsley and other herbs over dried go for it. You might want to double the amount of fresh herbs used vs. the dry amounts, as dried herbs offer a richer flavor than fresh at times.

How Long Does Homemade Avocado Ranch Dressing Last

Once you get your dressing made, store in an airtight container in the fridge. You will need to use up your dressing within 3-4 days time. But trust me, once you taste it, you won't want to eat anything without it.

Give this recipe a try today! It will be your new favorite salad dressing that you will want to drizzle on any and everything you whip up. Best of all, it is so simple to make. If you are hosting a party, this is the perfect dressing to really make your dish stand out in a crowd.

Is Avocado Ranch Dressing Keto Friendly?

Definitely, yes, with all the heavy fats in the avocados. To make it a little more so, make sure you're using a greek yogurt that doesn't have soybean oil and is low in carbs. You can also swap the milk for heavy cream and there you have Keto-friendly Avocado Ranch Dressing!
