Smooth and creamy, you’ll flip for this Avocado Ranch Dressing! Great as a dip, dressing, or sauce, this dairy-free ranch dressing is seriously addicting. With adaptable ingredients, this can be a Whole30, paleo, and/or vegan dressing.

Green dressings are so delicious and can make you feel like you’re getting even more veggies into your diet! Much like my Homemade Green Goddess Dressing recipe, this Avocado Ranch is packed with flavor.
If you prefer a more conventional ranch dressing and also hate mayo (hollah), check out my Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing and Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing.
What Ingredients Are In Avocado Ranch Dressing?
- Avocado (doy)
- Green spices – chives, dill, parsley, tarragon, celery seed
- Other spices – sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder (but feel free to sub in 1 clove fresh garlic)
- White vinegar
- Milk – use your favorite non-dairy or dairy

I used dried herbs to make it more accessible and affordable. I adore fresh herbs, so if you prefer to use fresh, please see measurements in the recipe notes of the printable recipe card. If you have any leftover fresh herbs, try whipping up a batch of Whole30 Pesto for some amazing meals.
Many of these same spices are also used in this Crispy Oven-Fried Gnocchi and Veggies one-pan dish. Make a batch for a quick weeknight meal while you have all the ingredients out!
How to Make Avocado Ranch Dressing:
*A detailed and printable recipe card is available at the bottom of this post.
Add the avocado, spices, and vinegar to a food processor or blender. Blend until everything has been uniformly chopped.

Slowly drizzle in the milk, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed.

The recipe calls for 1/3 cup of milk to make a pourable dressing. If you would prefer to serve this as a dip, only use enough milk to create a creamy texture.
If you’re looking for a true “dip” recipe and can consume dairy, check out my Avocado Yogurt Dip.
Pro Tips/Recipe Notes
- The flavor of the avocado ranch dressing will improve over time. If possible, chill for at least two hours after making it.
- If you would prefer to use fresh herbs, use 1 tbsp per 1 tsp mentioned in the recipe. Use 3/4 tsp fresh dill, and 1 1/4 tsp of fresh tarragon.
- This ranch is a great mayo substitute in this Whole30 Chicken Salad recipe.

I have not tried it Sue. If you do, please report back with your results!
I do not have a problem with mayo, but we had a ton of avocados that needed using so we made this using fresh herbs from the garden. Man alive, what flavour! Definitely something I’ll be adding to my regular repertoire!
