Avocado Ranch Dressing

One word:  Tacos.  My children can eat some tacos.  They love them on hard shells, over tortilla chips, as little burrito babies and now I am teaching my children how to make tacos, so at least they will have that.

I have plenty of avocado's around the house and I really wanted to use them in a modified way.  I found this recipe and while I am not a ranch dressing eater, I did have all of the ingredients so I went for it!  I only used the ranch recipe but feel free to use the recipe in it's entirety if it appeals to you!

The What's:

1 large ripe avocado

1/2 cup sour cream 

1/4 cup milk 

1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar

3 cloves minced garlic (approx 1 1/2 tsp.)  *I would omit next time

1/4 tsp. kosher salt (or more to taste)

The How's:
Mash avocado in a bowl until smooth. Add sour cream and mix well. Whisk in milk. Then add lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, parsley, and salt stirring in between each ingredient.

This dressing ended up a little chunky, I wasn't able to get my avocado completely smooth but the taste was really good.  I felt like I purchased my taco from a fancy taco food truck.  I hope you give this recipe a try on a day that you are not following a completely strict diet.
