When avocados start to ripen, you have more than one move (sorry, guacamole). Make your very own avocado ranch yogurt dressing, developed by author and TOPS friend Jeanette Hurt. It’s made from ingredients you may already have on hand, it’s gluten-free, and it’s perfect for salads, fish or drizzled over a veggie burger. Plus, while some bottled dressings can have tough-to-pronounce ingredients, this homemade salad dressing recipe keeps things simple.
Ingredients
- 2 T. Greek yogurt, fat-free
- 1 T. avocado, ripe
- 1 T. apple cider vinegar
- ¼ t. honey
- ¼ t. onion powder

- 1/8 t. salt
- 1/8 t. black pepper
- 1 to 2 T. water
Directions
- Place all ingredients, except for water, into a food processor.

This salad dressing looks good, and I have all the ingredients, which is bonus!!!
Have a good day!!
I have an avocado tree so thank you!
I wouldn’t need a food processor if avocado is ripe and could be mashed until smooth. For 7-8 tablespoons I’m not going to clean up a food processor.
