avocado-mayonnaise spread

from christine...

i love ranch. i love avocados. i had some avocados that ripened way faster than expected, so i set out to find a way to make them into a spread. i found a recipe on allrecipes.com, but i would suggest tweaking it until you find the combination you like best.

2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
1 packet ranch dressing mix
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon light mayo (or olive oil mayonnaise)

mix everything together! chill if wanted.

if you make it this way, it will be very salty. i would recommend at least halving the ranch packet; i made the mistake of using the whole packet. however, if you like salty things, it's not too bad.

i only used 1 tablespoon of lemon juice but added more mayo (4 tablespoons total). i did this because i intend to use it as a mayo substitute instead of a veggie dip.

comment if you find winning combination!
