Description

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing is good on everything! Making your own homemade ranch dressing at home is healthier and tastier than any store-bought dressing. This recipe is vegan and dairy-free, but feel free to use any mayo you prefer. Add it to your favorite salad, an avocado wrap, or use it as a dip for fresh summer veggies.

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise (I like Veganaise for a vegan & dairy-free option)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon unsweetened plain nut milk or water
1 small garlic clove, finely minced or pressed, OR 3/4 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons fresh chopped dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
2 teaspoons fresh chopped chives (or green onions)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (I use Real Salt), to taste
a few spins of freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Whisk all ingredients together then transfer to an airtight glass container to store in the refrigerator. A Mason jar works perfectly.
Add more or less unsweetened plain nut milk or water to your desired consistency. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to develop—it’s even better the next day. It will keep for about a week in the refrigerator, so halve or double the recipe if needed.
Store in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Give it a good shake or stir before using since it may thicken or separate slightly. This dressing does not freeze well.

Notes

Homemade ranch is flexible. Use any mayo that works for you. You can also use apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, or a combo of both for even more flavor. Distilled white vinegar or another light vinegar can work in a pinch if needed.
