Tangy Guacamole Ranch Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Combine sour cream, cilantro, mayonnaise, jalapenos, and ranch dressing mix in a blender. Pulse until cilantro and peppers are finely minced and incorporated. You might need to stir with a spatula a few times to make sure everything's fully mixed. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

Steps:

• Whisk the sour cream, buttermilk, garlic, onion powder and sugar in a large bowl until smooth; season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Halve the avocados and discard the pits; scoop the avocados into the bowl with the dressing and mash. Stir in the tomatoes, onion, chives and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve with chips.
• You can make this guacamole 4 to 6 hours ahead; lightly cover and refrigerate. The sour cream and buttermilk will help prevent discoloration.

Steps:

• Remove the little nub of stem that is still usually lodged at the top of each avocado. Cut each avocado in half by slicing straight down through that spot where the stem was attached, until you reach the pit, then rotating the knife all the way around the pit. Twist the 2 halves apart, then scoop out the pits. With a spoon, scoop out the soft flesh from the skins, collecting it in a large bowl as you go. Coarsely mash with the spoon (or you can use an old-fashioned potato masher or large fork).
• Gently stir the salsa into the avocado mixture, along with the cilantro. Taste and season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. (Not only will the guacamole improve if made 1/2 hour or so before serving, but also it will maintain its fresh look longer if served cold.) Scoop into a decorative bowl, garnish with cilantro sprigs and you're ready to set it out for your guests to enjoy.

Steps:

• Add avocados and lemon juice to a medium mixing bowl; mash until desired consistency is almost reached. Stir in tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, salt, red pepper flakes, pepper, and cayenne. Taste guacamole and adjust for seasoning.
