5 Minute Avocado Ranch Dressing
Whole30 ranch dressing made with avocados instead of oil! Easy five minute avocado ranch dressing. This dairy free ranch dressing can be used as a salad dressing, veggie dip, or spread for sandwiches and burgers.
This recipe was meant to go on some bacon burgers I was making earlier, but as I was making this, I was like, ya know… I just really want to eat it right now…
So I did.
Does that ever happen to you?
No, just me?
Okay, well…. this is awkward.
So, I grabbed a handful of celery and carrot sticks are started dipping. 🙂 YUM.
Then I ditched the veggies and went from a spoon to a finger, because: holy moly, this is amazing!!
I’m not a big mayo fan, so naturally, ranch dressing isn’t my go-to.
I mean, I won’t not eat it, but I also won’t intentionally put it on anything I’m making.
If you’re serving it, okay, but if I’m cooking: no way.
But I do love all the flavors in there, so I decided to try and come up with a good healthy balance.
Swapping the oil and dairy for avocado in this recipe was killer!
The creaminess and healthy fats from the avocado were a perfect blend for the spices and kick of lemon juice.
Loving this right now.
That’s all.
Okay, so piece of advice: if you don’t have a food processor: get yourself one!
These things are amazing and I use mine every. single. day. without. fail.
So, now that we have established the fact that you need one in your life, this is the one I use and recommend: 7 Cup Food Processor (not sponsored, just love love!).
Making avocado ranch dressing
Basically, all you have to do is grab your ingredients, throw them in a food processor, and flip the on button.
Boom!
Ranch dressing- minus the oil and dairy, but still all that flavor.
Yummmy. 🙂
So, next time you’re craving a burger or some veggies, just make sure to make a batch of this to go along with it… it’s the perfect pair for either.
This recipe is fantastically versatile and can be served as a dressing for salads, a dip, or a spread.

Is there anything else that I could substitute for coconut milk? Sadly, I am allergic so it’s always hard to continue on a Paleo plan…could I use almond milk?
Hi Naomi, it will be different, because this coconut milk is full fat- you could sub it for mayo?
How long can this be stored in the fridge? 🙂
Hi Abby, I store it for about 4-5 days in the fridge. 🙂
This is a very delicious dressing. I did sub the coconut milk for almond and taste great. Maybe I will put in some coconut oil for the fat?
Hi, this looks delicious. What’s the serving size in your nutrition facts? That seems like a lot of calories for 1 serving. I get that avocados and coconut milk are high in fat, and they’re good fats, but still…. it’s a lot.
Hi Loranne, the serving size is one bottle of dressing… I don’t have the exact size, but when you use 2 tablespoons for a dressing, it’s not a lot of calories! 🙂 Hope that helps… and sorry I don’t have the specifics- I will have to make a note of that to add in future recipes. Thanks!
Just made this and WOW this is delicious!!! I am not a fan of coconut so was wary making it but I’m glad I did! It has no coconut taste. Finally found a paleo ranch dressing that doesn’t use mayo or vinegar. Thanks.
Great to hear Billie!
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD RECIPE & I LOVE THE INGREDIENTS, VERY NUTRITIOUS.
Thank you Kelly!
This was delicious! I only had limes but added some lemon balm to get the lemon tang. My granddaughter and I really enjoyed it on hamburgers and as a dip for carrots. Yum! Thank you for this recipe
Great to hear, thank you Debbie!
I used unsweetened almond milk because I didn’t have coconut milk on hand. I also used dried herbs instead of fresh, and this recipe turned out delicious! Immediately put it on a bacon sandwich and devoured the whole thing!
Great to hear Laura! Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
