Man oh man, there are few things I love more in this world than Chick-Fil-A’s iconic avocado lime ranch dressing. (Although I really love this homemade version of Chick-Fil-A sauce too!)
It’s creamy, packed with flavor, and pairs nicely with a salad, wrap (or just about anything really).

This homemade version is packed with healthy ingredients like kefir, apple cider vinegar, and my homemade avocado oil mayo. It’s easy, delicious, and something you can definitely feel good about making.

Ingredients for Avocado Lime Ranch
This is just a quick overview of essential ingredients needed for this recipe. Make sure to check out the recipe card below for the full list!
How to Make Chick-Fil-A Avocado Lime Ranch
- Place all the dressing ingredients except the avocado oil and water into a food processor or high powered blender and begin blending.
- With the blender still running, slowly drizzle the avocado oil into the dressing. It should immediately begin to take on a thick and creamy texture, letting you know it has emulsified properly.
- Thin the dressing with a little water as desired, then adjust seasonings to taste if needed.
- Pour the dressing into a mason jar or other airtight container. For best results, refrigerate for an hour before using. It will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
Make sure the avocados are ripe! They should have a slight give to them when squeezed (without being overly mushy).
Why Use Kefir?
Kefir is a fermented milk drink that offers a variety of health benefits. It contains probiotics, beneficial bacteria that promote gut health and improve digestion. It also is packed full of vitamins and protein! I love and use Maple Hill Organic Kefir.
Quick Tips for Success
- If you don’t want to make your own avocado oil mayo, I love the Chosen Foods brand. It can be found at most grocery stores.
- If you’re feeding a crowd, this recipe can easily be doubled!
