Ranch Dip Guacamole

You may just want to ditch the tortilla chips and use a spoon to eat this delicious guacamole.

As if homemade fresh guacamole isn’t good enough on its own, add some ranch dip to the mix and it will make your taste buds very happy.

This recipe starts out by making homemade guacamole with ripe avocados, chopped onions, jalapenos, tomatoes and garlic.

Juice from a whole lime is added which not only adds zing to the flavor, it also helps with preserving the bright green color.

Then the ranch dip is made from a dry mix right out of the box, and sour cream.

Super easy.

You can even use light sour cream if you like.

The ranch dip adds a light creamy texture, and richness to the guacamole.

It’s really good.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

For the Guacamole – avocado, fresh lime juice, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, Roma tomatoes, salt and pepper.

For the Ranch Dip – dry ranch dip mix and sour cream.

Here’s how to make it.

In a medium size bowl, add mashed avocado, lime juice, onion, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper.

Then,

mix together and set aside for a moment.

In a small bowl, add sour cream and dry ranch dip mix (according to the package instructions).

Mix together.

Add ranch dip to the guacamole (just 3 tablespoons is added to the guacamole so there will be leftover ranch dip).

Next,

stir together…

…grab some chips (or a spoon)…

…and…

…dig in.

Although the lime juice helps with preserving the bright green color, it’s best when this is made as close to the serving time as possible.
