- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk + 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill weed finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh chives finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon finely cracked pepper
Begin by making buttermilk by adding 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Fill the 1/2 cup up the rest of the way with unsweetened almond milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
Add the other ingredients to a mixing bowl or jar and mix them well.
1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon fresh dill weed, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, 1.5 tablespoons fresh chives, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1 clove garlic, 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1/8 teaspoon finely cracked pepper
Pour the buttermilk in and mix well.
Adjust seasoning and, if you have time, refrigerate for 2 hours for the best flavor and consistency.
- Dried Herbs: If you'd prefer to use dried herbs, the amounts are: 1 teaspoon dried dill, 2 teaspoons dried parsley, 1 teaspoon dried chives, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Consistency Adjustment: If your dressing is too thick, thin it with a bit more almond milk until you reach the desired consistency. Too thin? Let it thicken in the fridge a little longer.
- Garlic Intensity: For a more robust garlic flavor, I use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder. Adjust according to how garlicky you like it.
Storage Instructions
- Airtight Container: Keep your homemade keto ranch dressing in an airtight container to maintain freshness. A glass jar is ideal.
- Refrigeration: Always store ranch dressing in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to one week.
- Stir Before Use: Ingredients may settle or separate slightly in the fridge, so give it a good stir before serving.
- Do Not Freeze: Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture and consistency of the dressing.
