Vegan Avocado Ranch Dressing image

This dressing has the creamy, tangy, herby trifecta of ranch, but gets there with all plant-based ingredients. Creamy, ripe avocado is blended with the brine of dill pickles, whose garlic and dill seed echo the seasonings in traditional ranch. Blend in fresh dill and garlic for brightness, then stir in finely chopped pickles for texture. Eat it over greens or with chicken cutlets, spread it on a sandwich or serve it as a dip with chips and crudités.
