Homemade Dairy-Free Ranch DressingThis ranch is as fresh as it gets, my friends. It’s made with homemade mayonnaise, fresh herbs, spices, and a splash of almond milk. It’s also dairy-free and paleo friendly!

Homemade Dairy-Free Ranch DressingThis dressing is so simple to make too. It’s really just a matter of mixing all of the ingredients together and adding more or less milk, according to your preference. Use less milk if you want to use the ranch as a dip, more milk if it will be used as a dressing.

You’ll never want to buy it off the shelf with all of those artificial flavors and preservatives. I mean, should a dairy product be able to sit on a shelf for up to a year anyway? It just doesn’t seem natural. Well, now you can just make your own:) Enjoy!

Description

A creamy and delicious ranch dressing made totally from scratch! This ranch is made with fresh herbs and homemade mayonnaise. It’s also dairy-free and paleo friendly!


Ingredients

Scale

Ranch Dressing:

  • 3/4 cup homemade mayonnaise or your favorite store-bought mayonnaise (Be sure to use a vegan mayonnaiseone !important; margin:0px !important;” /> if vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley*
  • 1/2 tablespoon chopped chives*
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill*
  • 1 small clove garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • pinch of salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened original almond milk, a splash more may be needed if you want it thinner.
  • *If using dried herbs, use a little less than half of the specified amount in fresh (e.g. 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley, use a scant 1/2 tablespoon of dried parsley.) Better to start out with less and add more to taste.

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, herbs, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Stir in milk until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed. Keep dressing in a jar or an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

    Thank you sooo much! We have been searching for ranches at the store and they just haven’t been edible. Now we finally have something to satisfy our ranch needs as we continue our Paleo lifestyle week 2. Any other suggestions on dressing for salads? Maybe something to substitute french?

    Going to attempt making this using unsweetened, original coconut milk for my lunch salad. 🙂 Before developing my servere dairy allergy, I was a ranch-aholic, and I never thought to try to make a dairy free alternative!

      May, I’m a fellow ranch-aholic and creating a dairy-free variation was a top priority for me 🙂 I haven’t tried it with coconut milk yet, so please let me know how you like it! I bet it’ll be super creamy and delicious! Enjoy!
