    Avocado Ranch Dip Recipe on 5DollarDinners.com

    I <3 dips. Like, really love them. I love making them, I love dunking veggies into them, I love the crunchy-creamy combo of a snack like this!

    Dips make for great appetizers…and even a simple dinner on a hot summer evening. A ‘dip bar’ is a great way to do an easy, no-cook dinner. Just serve a dip like this with some veggies, along with a dip like this with some Naan bread, or pita chips, or pita bread. Boom, a no-cook, simple and tasty dinner!

    For this dip shown above, I used my homemade ranch dressing mix and it is simply superb. The dip is 3 ingredients – smashed avo, yogurt and ranch dressing mix. Plus a little salt and pepper to your taste…and it wouldn’t hurt to add extra garlic either 😉

    Ripe Avocado Tip

    Tip for you…when you have a ripe avocado, squish it in your hands before you score it and open it up. Then when you do open it, all you have to do is slide it into the yogurt and stir it up. No need for a fork to mash it…and that’s one less thing to wash!

    This squash it in your hand before you open it trick works brilliantly too for making the perfect chunky guacamole. H/T to my friends Paula & Will from Afford Anything for this genius idea!
