Ranch Guacamole Dip

Smooth and creamy, with high points of scallion, dill, and cilantro- these are just some of the reasons I love this ranch guacamole dip. It hits the perfect balance between ranch and guacamole with elements of each unique sauce in every bite.

As a dip this one’s gonna be a crowd pleaser wherever you serve it! It’s got enough ranch flavor to taste a bit like ranch, but with the signature flavors of guacamole.

For the recipe we’re using dried dill, which in my opinion is one of the seasonings in this dip that makes it taste a lot like ranch.

Some might just call this ranch flavored guac, but I hesitate it call it that because the ranch element in this strong and the texture is smoother and creamier than most guacamole. It’s also a bit thinner.

Like so many of my favorite (read: easy) dip recipes all you have to do after chopping the ingredients is add them to the food processor and pulse until smooth. Then fold in the chopped scallions and tomato. The un-blended veggies add just a little bit of texture that keeps this from being soupy.

Make sure you get ripe avocados for this as they won’t blend properly or have the right flavor if they aren’t ripe. It’s an art to find the best avocados, but look for the darker ones that have some give without being too soft.

The thinner texture would make it an ideal spread for wraps, too. I could see this with a chicken BLT wrap- a dollop spread on the wrap before adding the fillings. And, you could certainly use this as a dipping sauce for just about anything.

Whether you serve this with chips or on a wrap or even on top of white rice this dip is a flavor-packed delight that makes everything taste better.
