The Best Mayonnaise-Based Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing
This Ranch dressing made with mayonnaise, parsley, dill, garlic, chives, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper tastes fresh and clean. It's a Whole30, Paleo, and Keto friendly version of America's favorite dressing.
Ingredients
- 3 cups mayonnaise (I used avocado based)
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or more depending on desired consistency)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic pressed or minced, or 1 teaspoon dehydrated
- 1/4 cup dill chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped
- 1/4 cup chives (omit if not in season)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Add mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard to a large mason jar or medium-sized bowl.
- Squeeze lemon juice into the base mixture.
- Chop dill, chives, and parsley and add to dressing along with dehydrated or fresh garlic.
- Add a small amount of nut milk, if using. You can always add more for a thinner consistency. Cap the mason jar, shake vigorously, and keep in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. Alternatively, if you are looking for a thicker consistency, mix the ingredients in a small bowl instead of the jar. The longer it rests in the fridge the better the flavors meld together.
- Spoon over salad and serve with veggies.
Notes
This makes a large mason jar of dressing (perfect for a party or just to have on hand for a couple of weeks). This recipe can easily reduced by half if you wish to make a smaller amount.
Variations:
- Half the amount of mayonnaise and use a can of coconut milk in its place.
- If you want even more control of the oils you can make your own homemade mayonnaise.
