Description
Learn the secrets to making a healthier version of Chick-fil-A's beloved avocado lime ranch dressing using wholesome ingredients like kefir, avocado oil mayo, and apple cider vinegar. Easy, delicious, and good for you, too!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup kefir
- 1/2 cup avocado oil mayo
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (can substitute olive oil)
- 1-2 tbsp of water (to thin as needed)
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 a week.
Notes
- 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.
- Storage: This homemade ranch will store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
