Skinny Avocado Ranch Dressing

I came up with this recipe a few weeks back when I was craving some of the Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing that you get in the little packet, and make yourself. While I was reading the back, I realized something. Why not add a healthy fat like avocado instead of sour cream or mayo? So I threw an avocado in with a packet of the ranch and a little milk. I realized that it was pretty powerful...VERY POWERFUL. So I threw in another avocado....and VOILA. It was perfect. I've tried this recipe out on my family with a Southwest type salad and they love it. It's now a family favorite!

Avocado Ranch Dressing

1 pkg Dry Ranch Dip (like Hidden Valley)

2 Med. Avocados

1/2 c.(+) Milk  (use skim to make it skinny!)

Chop up avocados, (if they aren't very soft) and throw into your blender. Add Ranch dip packet and 1/2 c. milk. Add more milk to thin if necessary.



I recommend to serve it over a southwest salad:
Greens, black beans, corn, blackened chicken, cilantro, tomatoes, tortilla strips, cheese.


Variations: You could throw in some cilantro, tomatillos, and/or jalapeno for a mexican style dressing.
