Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup sour cream (substitute Greek yogurt for a healthier version)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

Juice of 2 limes

Zest of 1 lime

1 small garlic clove, finely minced

1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste

Optional: freshly chopped cilantro or sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Begin by cutting the avocados in half. Gently remove the pit and scoop the creamy flesh into a mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocados until smooth while retaining a few small chunks to give your dip a delightful texture.

    Mix the Base: Introduce the sour cream and mayonnaise into the bowl with the mashed avocados. Stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes a luscious and creamy blend.

      Add Flavoring: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the creamy base. Next, squeeze the fresh lime juice into the bowl and add the lime zest for a refreshing kick. Incorporate the minced garlic, followed by the salt and black pepper, mixing everything until well combined and evenly distributed.

        Adjust Seasoning: Taste your dip and adjust the flavors as necessary. You can add a bit more lime juice for added tanginess or extra ranch seasoning for a bolder taste, depending on your preference.

          Chill and Serve: Carefully transfer the dip to a stylish serving bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap to prevent the dip from browning, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro or sliced green onions on top for a burst of color and an extra layer of flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve your creamy avocado lime ranch dip with an assortment of fresh vegetable sticks, crunchy tortilla chips, or as a delightful spread on sandwiches and wraps.
