Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (approximately 1 lime)

1 teaspoon lime zest

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Sliced vegetables (such as carrots, bell peppers, and cucumbers) or tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Begin by cutting the avocados in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the pits, then scoop the creamy flesh into a mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocados to your desired consistency—smooth or slightly chunky works well.

    Mix the Base: To the mashed avocados, add the sour cream and mayonnaise. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to blend the mixture thoroughly until it achieves a rich and creamy consistency that's light and airy.

      Add Flavorings: Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the creamy mixture, followed by the lime zest, ranch seasoning mix, and minced garlic. Stir everything together until all ingredients are well incorporated, ensuring that the flavors mingle beautifully.

        Season to Taste: Taste the dip and add salt and black pepper to suit your preferences. For an extra burst of citrus flavor, feel free to adjust the lime juice to your liking.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. This chilling period allows the flavors to blend and intensify, resulting in a more delicious outcome.

            Serve: Just before serving, give the dip another gentle stir to ensure a uniform consistency. If desired, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for a pop of color and flavor. Arrange an assortment of sliced vegetables and crispy tortilla chips around the dip for a delightful dipping experience.
