Homemade Ranch Dressing

We all love this ranch dressing recipe.  Thankfully Abbi (my very picky eater) is interested in eating more of her dinner if she can dip whatever it is we’re eating in a bit of ranch.  Works for me.  I know many of you moms out there can relate!

This recipe is linked to Slightly Indulgent Tuesday and Allergy Free Wednesdays.

Ranch Dressing Recipe:

1/2 cup organic mayo (or Veganaise)
1/2 cup plain yogurt or plain coconut milk yogurt
1 1/2 tsp organic dijon (make sure it’s GF certified)
2 tsp dried parsley
2 tsp dried chives
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp sea salt

Stir all ingredients together until well blended.  Store in an airtight container.  Use within 5 to 7 days.

Enjoy!

    I don't seem to tolerate dairy in any capacity, but my son has finally outgrown his dairy allergy so I am looking forward to trying this recipe. We are always looking for alternatives to my homemade hummus for dipping veggies. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh Terris! I'm sorry. Just being able to have yogurt is such a "treat" for me. :( I'm sorry you can't have it! BOO!

    Hi Megan!We are interns at the northern California chapter of the Arthritis Foundation and we read your blog and are impressed by your creative recipes and insights on living with Arthritis. We were hoping you'd be willing to help us with a media-based testimonial project that we are doing this summer in order to increase awareness of Arthritis and related diseases. The project will be a collection of stories and photographs of people of all ages and cultures who have had experiences with Arthritis. If you are willing to help us with this project in any way, PLEASE email us at afncintern@gmail.com. Thank you and have a great day!

    Hi Megan,I gotta say, it took me a couple of weeks to get around to making this recipe and I'm so glad I did! I used the plain coconut milk yogurt and skipped the agave… WOW!It passed my son's taste test in a big way.. he hasn't had ranch in a year (since finding out about his food intolerances).THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!Kirstin

    Hi Kirstin,YOU'RE WELCOME! YOU'RE WELCOME! YOU'RE WELCOME!! =D My girls (and I) really missed ranch too. I was bound and determined to find a good alternative. I'm glad your little man loved it (that makes me really happy to hear!)! Hugs,Megan

    This is so good! I've never been able to make a good ranch, so I've been buying it (urgh) for the husband… but I think those days are over. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of sage and skipped the agave. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!!

  8. Is the Dijon & mayo corn free? Or would I have to make my own? I am new at this.
    Thanks,

      Hi Moe – it depends on the brand. You would have to check the ingredients and call/check with the company to verify. :) Megan

    ps, I will be giving this mention of AFW this week!

  12. Love this recipe, Meg! I’m not kidding when I tell you I used to drowned everything in Ranch dressing. I really miss it. I love your variation. One thing I do here when I want a Ranch-like dip is sort of along the lines of your recipe. Soy-free Vegenaise taste fab with some dill, onion/garlic granules, lemon juice and salt. I never though of adding a yogurt Look forward to trying. :-)

    Hugs to you lovely lady.
