ingredients
- 3 large Hass avocadoes, halved, pitted, and peeled

- In a medium bowl, using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocados until chunky.

- In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and package of Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix. Add to the avocado mixture along with the pepper and stir gently to combine.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole, pressing to eliminate any air pockets (this will help keep the guacamole from turning brown).

When I saw this was from UNLV I had to try it as that's my old Alma Mater from Nursing School. It was wonderful, taste great, fast, easy and disappeared fast. I made exactly as directed except for using an orange pepper instead of red as that's what I had. Loved the addition of the ranch dressing, that just added that little extra. Next time I might even try adding a tomatillo tomatoe to the mix. This will be great for company appy. Made for PAC fall 2011

Fantastic guacamole dip! Love the H V Ranch dressing in it -- really gives it a nice flavor. The only change I made was to leave out the bell pepper since the grandkids don't like them, but when I make it again (and I will), I'll add them. Will definitely keep this recipe handy. Made for Best of 2013 Cookbook tag, February, 2014.

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes. Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
