Jalapeño Avocado Ranch Dip is a flavorful, creamy, sour cream based dip that can be served with veggies or chips. This cool and creamy dip is made with fresh jalapeños, cilantro, avocado, sour cream and ranch seasoning. It makes a perfect dip for a veggie tray or to serve with tortilla chips.

Healthier Ranch Dip

This version is lower in calories and fat by using light sour cream rather than mayonnaise. It does use a packet of ranch seasoning for convenience. If you are watching your sodium content you can use half of a packet or you may prefer my Greek yogurt based version that does not use ranch seasoning.

Ingredients you'll need

Fresh jalapeños - I use five jalapeños with the seeds and membranes removed. This usually results in a more mild dip.
Cilantro - Fresh cilantro leaves. Using only the leaves results in a smoother consistency for the dip.
Garlic
Hass Avocado - I prefer the medium sized avocados because I think they have the best flavor.
Sour Cream - Regular or light sour cream.
Ranch Dip Mix - Be sure to use the Ranch Dip Mix. It seems to thicken better.
Lime Juice
Optional: Milk or buttermilk, if you would like to thin the dip out.

Serving and storage

Serving suggestions include sliced cucumbers, celery sticks, baby carrots and tortilla chips.

Store in airtight container in fridge, best if used within three days.
