Rachael Ray's Green Ranch Dressing

My mom really has a thing for Rachael Ray. She watches the show and jots down the recipes she likes. Her latest favourite recipes is this Green Ranch Dressing.

  2. Yummy! Avocados are my favorite but I always seem to buy one or two extra. I'll have to keep this in mind next time I'm trying to think of something to do with my extras.
