This is a fantastic buttermilk avocado ranch dressing that is used most often with Chili’s Southwestern Eggrolls.  I would encourage you to try with some of the other Chili’s restaurant recipes including a simple salad.

Whether you’re using it as a dipping sauce or a salad dressing, this is one you’re going to want to make up fresh because of the avocado. If you do this up too far in advance the avocado will begin to get a funny taste to it.  The vinegar will help to preserve the avocado, but I would stick to making it the day ahead.

If you’re freezing the Southwestern Eggrolls overnight, go ahead and make this at the same time and refrigerate it to help bring all the flavors together. Serve this up with a nice garnish of fresh chopped tomatoes and onion.

Chili’s Avocado Ranch Dipping Sauce

This is the sauce Outback Steakhouse™ serves with their Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie as well as their Pan Seared Lump Crab Cakes.  But, don’t limit it to just those items.  That’s the beauty of making your own restaurant recipes, you can mix and match to create your own specialties. This goes very well with just about any type of seafood.

A rich and creamy sauce with just enough zip from the horseradish.  Make up plenty and store it in the refridgerator or share it with friends in the office.  If you’re planning on having it for dinner tonight, make this first so it can sit in the refridgerator before it’s time to eat.  This helps to really bring the flavors together nicely.

When my wife and I tried making fish taco’s without it (didn’t have all the ingredients and we were too lazy to drive to the store), we were amazed at how much the tacos lacked.

Whether you’re making grilled of fried fish tacos, this is an ingredient friends will rave about. It your choice whether you tell them how it’s made or not. Oh and please don’t let anyone convince you there are capers in this sauce… they’re not.

Ok, I warned you, this is VERY simple.
