Hi all! 
Hump Day means a new recipe right? YES!
The story behind this one is great!
I have recently took on the undertaking of becoming more healthier. You know the new year new me stuff. Well anyways, I have been mostly compliant with gluten free and I am trying to be more conscious of what I am eating meaning less processed and more fresh! I have been dabbling in the Paleo diet just a hair.
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!
Have I found the best Paleo (and probably the easiest!) recipe thus far in my crazy adventure! Avocado Ranch Dressing is by far “The Bomb” and totally tasty. I love dipping my veggies in it as well as slathering it on my burgers and dipping my sweet potato fries in this delicious dip. I even got my other half (He hates avocado) to eat some of it! I know I am brilliant, but I felt completely accomplished by this huge feat!
Avocado Ranch Dressing 
1 avocado
1/2 cup Paleo Mayonnaise (or regular Mayo if you aren’t Paleo) I used this recipe here
3 Tbsp olive Oil
2 tsp Lime Juice (or lemon but lime will keep the dressing from browning quickly)
1 tsp Roasted Granulated Garlic (Garlic powder is okay but there won’t be as much taste)
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Cilantro
1/4 tsp Dill weed
1/4 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp chives
1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/8 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (I just pinched it in)
1/8 tsp minced Onion
Wash, cut and place your pitted and skinned avocado into a blender or food processor. Add in with the avocado the mayo, spices, olive oil and lime juice. Blend until the avocado is completely processed. If you want a salad dressing mix in another tablespoon of olive oil. Put into a sealed jar or dish and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks!
I would be lying if I said that this avocado ranch dressing is still sitting in my fridge because it went quickly with me! I have been using it as a wrap dressing, dip for sweet potato fries, salad dressing and well eating it on just about everything! It tastes like it just belongs with veggies as a dip especially because of how fresh it tastes! I love when my food tastes fresh like it has just been picked or made from ingredients that are fresh! Although, I am sure I am not the only one!
