Ranch dressing is my absolute favorite dressing, mainly because whether I am keto or not, ranch is still my favorite salad dressing. So I was very pleased to hear that ranch dressing was allowed on keto. I make two different versions of ranch dressing so it’s not the same thing all the time. I personally never measure my ingredients since I’ve made these dressings for years but these recipes are pretty identical to mine.
Another bonus is kids LOVE ranch. Store bought ranch just doesn’t taste as good as homemade ranch. My kids will eat ANYTHING as long as I let them dip their food in ranch. So if you want your kids to eat veggies… let them dip! My kids eat so consume so many vegetables willingly and my secret is ranch or roasting the veggies in olive oil, salt & pepper.
So here’s a couple ranch dressing recipes I make. The serving size is 2 tablespoons. I like to just put my salad on a scale, zero it out, and then add the ranch by weight (28 g).
Keto Ranch Recipe 1:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp vinegar (white distilled or apple cider)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon chives
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Keto Ranch Recipe 2:
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dried parsley
- 1 tsp Dried dill
- 1 tsp Dried chives
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Mix both these recipes up and store in a mason jar. I make a batch weekly and put it on everything from salads, veggies, and dips.
Jess, do you have the macros for Ranch Dressing 2 and also for your Coleslaw?
Yes, thanks for the reminder. I will update this post and add a screen shot.
Try roasting veggies in bacon fat or schmaltz. Omigoodness
So much better than EVO or EVC (coconut oil).
Add some vinegar just before with the s&p. Adds depth of flavor.
What kind of mayo do you use? Thanks! Trying to make as clean as possible.
