Homemade Ranch Dressing/Dip: Cuisine HELP

By Rachel Borg • October 23, 2023

Enjoy this ranch as a dip, or over your favorite salad!

I haven't met a person who doesn't like ranch dressing or dip! This homemade version is low-carb and easy to make!

Depending on the mayo you use, you can also ensure that this dressing is free of inflammatory seed oils.

Dip low-carb veggies like celery, cucumber, or bell peppers in this ranch, or enjoy it over a green salad!

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise (try my homemade recipe)
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons dried chives
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/3 cup milk (or buttermilk)
salt and pepper to taste

Step-By-Step Instructions

Combine all ingredients except milk into a small bowl and mix well.
Add milk until you reach your desired consistency. I like to use less milk for a thicker dip and more milk for a pourable salad dressing.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
For best results refrigerate at least two hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Giving Credit Where It's Due

I found this original recipe at Spend With Pennies and have modified it a bit (shown above) to fit my family's tastes. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
