What Makes This Recipe Great

Traditional ranch dressing is one of those magical sauces that makes almost everything taste better. Today, I’m introducing you to my fantastic dairy-free Homemade Ranch Dressing. The quality and taste of this dressing are off the charts! It is so much better than the store-bought dressings you get at the grocery store that have ingredients in them you can’t even pronounce.

Not only is it super creamy ranch, but it also packs a punch of flavor. This dressing has simple and healthy ingredients, is super tasty, and takes just minutes to make. Simply use my homemade 60-second mayo recipe and combine coconut milk, vinegar, dried herbs, and lemon juice. Usually, I use an immersion blender, but if you don’t have one, no worries. Use a food processor to combine the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

The same delicious ranch flavor as your favorite classic ranch, but so much healthier and clean ingredients!

  • mayonnaise: You can use Greek yogurt if not dairy-free. Use your favorite brand, or try my homemade mayo!
  • sea salt
  • fresh dill weed
  • apple cider vinegar, or white vinegar
  • coconut milk: I used canned, unsweetened coconut milk because it’s thicker, and I like the consistency. You can try unsweetened almond milk or another non-dairy milk if desired. If not dairy-free, you can use heavy cream or whole milk.
  • spices: You’ll need dried or fresh parsley, dried chives, garlic powder, and onion powder for this recipe, or use my homemade ranch seasoning recipe.
  • cracked black pepper

  4. Serve immediately, or place the lid on the jar and store it in the fridge for up to one week. Give it a good shake before using it.
