Perfect Avocado Ranch Dip

I am a complete and total sucker for all things Avocado

I love the color the smell the texture the flavor

the whole bit

This dip envelopes all of those things and adds it with the cool refreshing flavor of ranch

This dip is awesome with chips or veggies 

we also use it for quesadillas, sandwiches and burgers.

Due to the versatility and deliciousity (is that a word?) this is the Perfect Avocado Ranch Dip

It tastes Fancy but is so easy to make!

for a cool one in the thriftosphere.

Here are some before pics that my step mom (Linda) texted me:
