You know what they say: the dressing makes the salad! For a flavorful and healthier twist on ranch, make this avocado ranch dressing!
Yogurt: Use a thick greek yogurt – or, if you prefer a richer flavor, sub in some mayonnaise, too! If you’re vegan, you can also use vegan yogurt or vegan mayo. Adobo sauce: The sauce that comes in jars of chipotle peppers. Other ingredients: Fresh lime juice, avocado oil, sea salt, oregano, black pepper, and a garlic clove.
How to adjust the consistency
This versatile dressing can be used as a dipping sauce, a salad dressing, or a sandwich spread. Depending on what you want to use it for, you can adjust the consistency accordingly – a thicker texture is ideal for dipping yummy things in, while a thinner consistency works best for getting a perfect drizzle over salads. Adjusting the consistency is super simple – use a little less avocado oil for a thicker texture and opt for the thickest yogurt you can find – plain Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier than regular yogurt. Substituting some mayo also makes it thicker and richer tasting.
Dipping sauce: Scoop some of this dressing up with raw veggie sticks, like carrots or cucumbers. You’ll also love dipping sweet potato wedges, carrot fries, or chicken bites. Tacos or burritos: Add to your favorite taco or burrito recipe, or over a taco salad bowl or burrito bowl! Salads: The tangy-smoky-zesty flavor of this dressing can bring your salad to life! Drizzle it over a roasted corn and avocado salad or green salads. Potato: Drizzle over these easy sweet potato nachos or on top of a southwest stuffed sweet potato, or over a grilled potato salad. Pasta salad: This Mexican pasta salad is a match made in heaven for your chipotle lime dressing! Wraps, sandwiches, and burgers: Add some tang to a southwest veggie burger or a cauliflower burger. Slather some onto a pulled chicken sandwich, or drizzle some on your favorite wrap. Shrimp: This dressing also goes super well with shrimp – whether it’s a shrimp tacos, party shrimp, chili lime shrimp, or shrimp fajitas!
