If you like ranch flavor, just wait until you give this recipe a try. It may just know your socks off.
October is here and Halloween is out and about in all the stores,
there will be parties and get togethers left and right.
This is one fun and delicious dip,
that will be great with veggies and chips.
All the great taste of a classic buttermilk ranch, with the creamy deliciousness of avocado.
The gorgeous green avocado makes for the perfect backdrop to create this fun spider web in…
and how fun is that spider.
Truth be told, this is the only spider I like!
I don’t like the creepy crawly Halloween stuff,
I tend to like the cute, fun, pumpkins such.
I love Fall, all the leaves are changing and the nights are getting cooler.
There is such fun all around, kids are picking out costumes, there are caramel apples all around and oh the candy….the aisles and aisles of candy that are in the stores has me thinking there needs to be something else to snack on,
that is where this dip comes in.
Grab some veggies or your favorite chips and begin dipping.
I think this will also be super-delicious with fresh baked hot pretzels….comfort food comes in many varieties. For me, it’s snacking and everyone thought this was the cutest dip.

I’m woking with California Avocados to bring you some delicious recipes, all opinions are my own. I happen to love California Avocados and am glad they are in season now! But they won’t be for long, so be sure to enjoy them now before the season ends. If you stock up on them and want to put some in freezer for months to come as you won’t find a better avocado until spring time. Take a look at this post on How to Freeze Avocados, it’s a must this time of year.

What a fun dip, Diane! And the Halloween decoration is so darn cute.

The dip is adorable with the olive spider but I’d eat this up year round.
Patty says
This looks fabulous! I will make using plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for an extra protein punch. My family will love this served with cute raw veggies and/or pita & bagel chips!

Spiders and I have a hate/hate relationship, but I have to agree that yours is adorable. I love the dip as well. Since there’s never a time that I don’t have avocados in the house, think I can actually make this today!
cristina says
I luv ranch and then adding avocados just makes it that much more delicious! I’d opt for this dip any day over ketchup. 🙂
Rebecca {foodie with family} says
I love this idea. Avocado buttermilk ranch? Oh my word, I’d just eat that with a spoon. I’m utterly devoted to Avocados AND ranch!
