I'm giving this 4 stars only because I changed the recipe, feeling that it was too heavy on the mayo. I used about half the mayo called for, wine vinegar and minced fresh garlic and onion rather than powdered dry--it goes wonderfully with tuna and hard boiled eggs on a tossed salad-- lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, peppers, red onion, etc. Thanks so much for this recipe--great for catching an avocado on its way out!

de-lish! as per other reviews, i served this over a salad of romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, avacado slices, bacon crumbles, and gorganzola cheese. for a bit of protein, I also served Spicy Black Bean Cakes and topped them with this dressing. It was awesome!! I can wait to try this dressing on many other things.

We really liked this dressing! I'll definitely be making it again. We were fortunate to have home-grown Reed avocados from our friends' orchard on hand. They are extra buttery-tasting and have a wonderful texture. After blending the ingredients, I did thin it down just a bit for dressing. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is a great dressing. I had to make a few substitutions, but the core of the recipe lends itself to variation. I didn't have buttermilk so I used a touch of coffee cream. I didn't have dill either, so I used 1.5 tbsp of dill pickle juice. This gave the dill flavour and added the zing the buttermilk would have brought. I also added a couple squeezes of lime juice. I put this on top of a wedge salad, and it was a nice alternative to blue cheese.

I was so excited to try this as I was making southwestern eggrolls and thought this would be perfect to go along with them. There was just something about it that I didn't like. I love avocados, but the taste just seemed to be so overpowering you couldn't taste anything else. There was no ranch taste at all so I ended up mixing in a packet of hidden valley buttermilk ranch and that helped it a lot, but it was just too thick and didn't have the taste I was looking for.

This was a very good recipe. Very much like a guacamole on steriods. I used fresh garlic instead of powder and added chives instead of parsley. I think dried parsley has very little flavor, if I had fresh I would've used it.

Absolutely delicious! Used as a dip for baby carrots and red bell peppers and it certainly made me want to eat my vegetables. Used half an avocado, and I will double the recipe next time and use a whole one. Thanks!

This dressing was pretty good as is, but then I added some fresh cilantro and some lime, which put it over the top. Also, I used buttermilk instead of sour cream (just because I had a lot of buttermilk that needed to be used up).
