Here is the tasty Avocado Buttermilk Ranch Dressing that I used for this salad.  It would also make a fabulous dip for veggies.

These photos are gorgeous! My husband loves avocado and he loves ranch even more, so I’m going to have to remember this one. :)

I wonder how this recipe would work with a non-dairy buttermilk. I may just have to give it a try. My husband complains about not having a variety of good homemade salad dressings that do not contain dairy, soy, or corn. He loves avocado, so I think this might just fit the ticket. I’m going to pin this recipe so that I don’t forget. Thanks for sharing this week at Allergy-Free Wednesdays! We’d love for you to join us again next week.

Have a great weekend!

I didn’t even know they had dairy-free buttermilk! The original recipe from Sumptuous Spoonfuls called for Greek yogurt and milk instead of the buttermilk, so you could probabaly also use some sort of vegan yogurt and another non-dairy milk.

I’ve never seen a non-dairy buttermilk, but you never know. I just add vinegar to my non-dairy milk and let it turn into buttermilk. I’ll been thinking about what kind of non-dairy yogurt to use. It’s on our menu this week, so I’ll let you know how it turns out.
