Ingredients
1/2 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat for the creamiest texture)
1/4 cup olive oil or avocado oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice for extra tang
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, olive oil (or avocado oil), and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine. This will serve as the creamy, tangy base for your ranch dressing.
Next, add the Dijon mustard, minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, and dried dill to the bowl. Stir everything together until the dressing is smooth and well-mixed. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you like more tang, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
For the best flavor, let your ranch dressing chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This gives the flavors time to meld together. Once chilled, give it a quick stir, and it’s ready to go!
Notes
This homemade ranch is perfect for dipping fresh veggies like carrots, celery, and cucumbers. It also makes an amazing dressing for any salad, especially one with crispy bacon or grilled chicken. You can even drizzle it on a keto pizza or use it as a sauce for grilled meats or roasted vegetables. It’s an all-around versatile sauce you’ll want to keep in your fridge at all times
