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).

Tips for Preparing to Make This Recipe
- Avocados: Make sure they are ripe! They should have a slight give to them when squeezed (without being overly mushy).
- Mayo: 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.
- 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.

Step by Step Instructions
- 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 1 week.
