Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

Juice of 2 limes

Zest of 1 lime

1 small garlic clove, minced

1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Optional: chopped fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth, but leave some small chunks for texture.

    Mix the Base: Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to the mashed avocados. Stir until well combined and creamy.

      Add Flavoring: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix into the bowl. Squeeze in the lime juice and add the zest of one lime. Incorporate the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, mixing everything until evenly blended.

        Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dip and adjust the lime juice, salt, or ranch seasoning to your preference—more lime for tanginess, more seasoning for flavor.

          Chill and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap to prevent browning. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

            Garnish: Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or green onions if desired for an added pop of color and flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve the creamy avocado lime ranch dip with fresh veggie sticks, tortilla chips, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
