This was pretty good, but I think would have been better with some fresh parsley and dill, and as others mentioned, fresh minced garlic. I made as stated, but then added a little red wine vinegar. I put everything through my food processor for a nice smooth dip/dressing. Will make again, but with tweak to my liking a bit.

Great!!! Love it! My roommates like to eat vegetables, like baby carrots... so I made this dressing last night, oh, couldn't stop eating it! So good! Just a right amount of everything, but I omitted the onion powder since didnt have any, but still tastes great!

I love love love LOVE this recipe - not as a salad dressing, but more as a sauce/dip mix. I added a pinch of cumin as we were having tacos that nite, and those tacos, made with Charley's Mexican Meat, and topped with this and pico de gallo were simply to DIE for. Lovely subtle avocado taste that was the perfect contast to an otherwise spicy meal. Great as a dip with veggies and tortilla chips - this is def a keeper. Oh! Just a quick note - the first time I made this, I was out of sour cream and used all mayo. Let me tell you, after one taste, my daughter and I both looked at one another and said "deviled eggs". We tried it as a filling for hard boiled eggs and they were devoured in a matter of minutes...great job and ty so much for recipe :)

This is very tasty. I made it with white balsamic vinegar and one garlic clove in lieu of the garlic powder. Even as I wrote this, I changed it from a 4 to a 5 because I think it reminds me of tat2's No Guilt Ranch Dressing in that with thinning it could be used as a salad dressing. I loved the taste. I'll play around with it a while to make it fit whatever comes to mind. In the meantime, I'll use it for dipping carrot sticks, pieces of red cabbage, celery, etc.

I did not have powdered garlic or powdered onion so I used a clove of chopped garlic and 3 chopped green onions. Didn't have parsley so I used cilantro instead. Came out very well with what I had in the house.

This is SO good! I just made it and haven't even had it on my salad yet. I used everything except for the dill, because I didn't have it. I added lemon juice and cut up cilantro. I'll definately be making this again.

Loved it! Used low fat mayo and sour cream, and it turned out great. I also used regular milk (well, Lactaid) instead of buttermilk to thin it out to facilitate better pouring. I think maybe next time I will use a little more of each spice and add some salt and pepper, but I will definitely be making this again!

Definitely a great recipe! I made this as a spread for a Turkey/Swiss sandwich tray. Got great reviews at a shower. I made it Saturday, and it tasted even better Sunday night. The flavors had more time to meld, I guess. I don't know how long the dip will stay good, but it's definitely something you can make the night before. It was more of a spread/dip consistency, as is. But I'm sure thinning it with buttermilk would make a fantastic dressing. It tasted so fresh, I might keep making this instead of buying bottles! I'm going to try the light version next time.

Yummy! I have a ton of ranch powder that I'm trying to use up, so I used 1.5 TBS of that rather than the individual seasonings, the vinegar and the buttermilk. I made this to serve with Buffalo Chicken Fajitas, but it's also very good to serve as a veggie dip.

I followed recipe exactly except I used dried buttermilk powder and Miracle Whip instead of mayo. This is a really delicious recipe for vegetable dip. I also added milk to thin it down for salad dressing. Excellent recipe!

In my 3 year old's words - "yummie to my tummie, Mommie". :) I added a bit extra avocado because I LOVE it! I also added 1 garlic clove like the other reviews.

Exactly what I was looking for! I was trying to recreate a chop salad I had at a local restaurant and this did the trick! I used it to top chopped romaine, chopped avacdo, chopped tomatoes, crumbled bacon and gorgonzola cheese. Makes a rich and elegant looking salad - would be great for company. Thanks!

Delicious! I omitted the dill since I was out but otherwise, made as directed. The flavor was reminiscent of cucumber. Will try adding a garlic clove next time since you can never have too much garlic!

I didn't have buttermilk so substitued regular nonfat milk. We liked this. I'm sure it's better with the buttermilk. I did add more onion powder, dill, and garlic powder than called for, and still thought something might be missing? Could just be the buttermilk :)

I used fat free sour cream and low fat mayo and regular milk in this one. I also added about a teaspoon of sugar and a half jalapeno finly chopped. Really awesome and a little goes a long way. Even with extra milk it is a little more like a dip than a dressing so you could assumibly add more milk if it is too thick.

This was a good dressing. I did double the seasonings for better flavor. I used this dressing to make a ranchero chicken soft taco and poured the mix over my chicken and it worked well. Will make this recipe again.
