What You Will Need

plain Greek yogurt & mayo – The base that gives this homemade salad dressing its creamy texture.
fresh cilantro – Our favorite herb for adding the perfect amount of freshness and amazing flavor.
avocado – Adds the best creaminess complete with plant based fats. A ripe avocado will give a little bit when lightly squeezed.
lime juice and lime zest – Just a bit of acid to balance out the creamy flavors.
dijon mustard, garlic, and red wine vinegar – Hard working ingredients that add a depth of flavor.
onion powder and garlic powder – Spice cabinet staples that add the best flavor.
kosher salt & ground black pepper – Can’t forget about the OG spices!

Chick Fil A Copycat Dressing?

Honestly, no. We didn’t even know that Chick-Fil-A had an avocado lime ranch dressing prior to making this recipe, but apparently it’s a customer favorite. We’re not sure what all goes into theirs, but we pride ourselves in using fresh herbs and simple ingredients without the preservatives to get the best tasting dressing possible.

How To Make Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing

Start by gathering and measuring out all of your ingredients. P.S. This is the hardest part of this recipe.

Individual bowls of mayo, minced garlic, greek yogurt, dijon mustard, salt, a whole avocado, a bunch of cilantro, a full lime, ground pepper, red wine vinegar, lime juice, and garlic powder.

Next, simply add everything into your trusty food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes or until smooth!

One of our favorite ways to enjoy this easy dressing is on our ground beef taco bowls, but it could also be used as a dipping sauce for veggies, tortilla chips, or dare we suggest homemade chicken nuggets?
