We all love ranch dips but have you tried an avocado ranch dip yet? Avocados are no doubt one of my favorite ingredients so I add them to just about anything I can and they work wonders in ranch dip! They enhance dip recipes with their wonderful creamy texture and that mellow, yet irresistible avocado taste we all love.
Avocado Greek Yogurt Dill Dip
This delicious dip requires only four ingredients; plain Greek yogurt, a ripe avocado, a fresh lime, and 1 packet of the new Hidden Valley® Greek Yogurt Dips Mix. It really doesn’t get much easier! It’s a smarter choice since it uses Greek yogurt and avocado instead of the traditional sour cream or mayonnaise found in many other ranch dips. You can adjust this dip for your own tastes, with salt, pepper, more dried dill, a spritz of lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, or other fresh herbs. You can make this dip using two different methods, you can mash the avocado up by hand getting it as smooth as possible, and mix all ingredients in a bowl, or use the food processor method as listed in the recipe. Either way, this dip is simply amazing! I recommend serving this with a big tray of raw veggie options. Some of our favorite vegetables with Greek yogurt dip are:
Baby Carrots or carrot sticks Cucumber Cauliflower Celery sticks Bell Peppers Broccoli Cherry tomatoes
My family of four only had about two tablespoons left by the end of the day. We ate it with veggies for a snack, and then at lunch, we used it as a dip for grilled chicken tenders and it was oh-so-good! This would make a great dill yogurt sauce over chicken and rice or as a spread on a wrap. Save this vegetable dip in the fridge and use it in place of salad dressings or to whip out a fast veggie dip with pita chips for a snack. When we were getting down to the last of it my daughter and I were snacking on it and she kept trying to pull the bowl away as if to keep it to herself because she loved it so much, and she can be a picky eater. I was so happy to find a way to get my kids to eat so many veggies! I already love veggies but with this dip, I enjoyed them even more! Try it for yourself and see what I’m talking about! It is the perfect upgrade to a classic ranch dip.
