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.
- 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
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.
- 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.
