Avocado Ranch

I have been trying to eat a little healthier, and in doing so, I've been trying to eliminate foods with no nutritional values.  Mayonnaise and salad dressings tend to fall in that category, and well, sometimes they really are nice to have.  So, a few weeks ago, I had some avocados that really needed to be used up and I decided to try subbing them for the mayonnaise in my Ranch dressing recipe. It worked and my little one really loved it, too...so yes, this was a huge success!

Avocado Ranch
1 cup nondairy milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup mashed avocado
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/4 teaspoon dried dill 
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions
Measure out the milk and add the lemon juice into the measuring cup. Mix together, and let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together the remaining ingredients.  Add in the milk mixture and whisk together, making sure all lumps are removed. (Or mix everything together in a blender). Refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors blend.  This stays good for a couple days in the fridge.
