Getting reviews...

This recipe has the flavor of traditional ranch dressing but is extra smooth and creamy, thanks to the avocado. Making dressing at home is a great alternative to store-bought because you know exactly what's inside. Dip crunchy veggies into the dressing for an easy afternoon snack.
