Make creamy dairy free ranch dressing at home in just 5 minutes. This easy recipe uses fresh herbs and simple ingredients to make a homemade ranch dressing that's better than anything you can buy at the store. Perfect for salads, dipping and so much more! Makes about 2 1/4 cups.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayo)
  • 1 cup dairy free sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 small bunch of fresh chives (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 small bunch of fresh parsley (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened dairy free milk

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients. Add the mayonnaise, vegan sour cream, lemon juice, chives, parsley, garlic, olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of dairy free milk to a blender or food processor.
  • Blend until smooth. Process until the herbs are finely chopped and the dressing is smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.Adjust consistency. Taste and add the remaining tablespoon of dairy free milk if you prefer a thinner dressing. Blend again briefly to combine.
  • Chill before serving. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. The ranch will thicken slightly as it chills.
  • Store. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Regular mayonnaise is dairy free (it's egg-based). Use vegan mayo only if you want to make this completely vegan.
  • Use regular sour cream and milk if you're not dairy free
  • Start with less dairy free milk and add more as needed - it's easier to thin it out than to thicken it back up.
