ranch seasoning

🥣 Using and Serving

Yes, this is an avocado salad dressing but there are so many ways to use this dressing besides on salads. That way it's like a tangy avocado sauce!

I love a dollop of the sauce with my steak or baked salmon.

Fish tacos and wraps taste extra delicious with a drizzle of this creamy avocado dressing.

You can use it too as a dip with nachos or chips at a party.

Or if you are like me, trying to eat healthier, than serving your avocado dressing with roasted vegetables or over your buddha bowl is the way to go.

Besides the dressing is completely vegan, so you can serve it as a pasta salad dressing too.

💭 Avocado FAQs

How do I know when my avocado is ripe?

Take your avocado to hand and gently press against the skin. If it appears soft but not mushy, your avocado is ready. Don't go after skin color, because different varieties can look dark and ripe on the outside when they are not.

How to ripen avocados faster or how to delay ripening?

To ripen fast: Keep your avocado next to bananas because the skin helps to ripen your avocados. A warm environment helps too
To delay ripening: Keep fruits in the fridge.

Why is my avocado turning brown?

Avocado fruit flesh turns brown when it comes in contact with oxygen. There is nothing wrong with the brown part and you can consume it. To avoid it turning brown, sprinkle lemon juice or vinegar over the cut open fruit. Also, place cling film over it to store in the fridge when cut open. Keeping the seed in a bit longer can help too.

🍱 Storing instructions

Keep in an airtight container and in the fridge.

The quantity should fill the container so that there is no air touching the avocado (or else it will turn brown in time).

You can place a cling film over the dressing, which will keep it fresh and green.

Use up within days. Keep not longer than 3-4 days.
