Classic Ranch: whisk 1/3 cup buttermilk, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons each chopped parsley and chives, 1 teaspoon dried dill weed, 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. (You can sub 1 tablespoon each of dried parsley and chives for the fresh) Once you start making homemade ranch, you’ll never go back to the store-bought stuff again. SO GOOD! This is perfect for cob salads, to dip fries in, over chicken salads, and most any other salads with romaine and other leaf lettuces as the base.

1. Classic Ranch Salad Dressing

Creamy Italian: Blend 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoon each sour cream and olive oil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 clove garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a blender. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.

2. Homemade Creamy Italian Salad Dressing

Classic Vinaigrette: Whisk 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste. Gradually whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil.

3. Classic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

Roasted Garlic: Slice the top off 1 head garlic; drizzle with olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil and roast at 400 degree until tender, about 35 minutes. Cool and then squeeze out the cloves. Blend the roasted garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste in a blender. I’m obsessed with this one. SO good! Make a double batch and use part of it for a marinade for chicken breast. It’s also amazing on roasted vegetables. I made my freezer to slow cooker Spaghetti and Meatballs and served it with a simple side salad and this dressing last night and I couldn’t get enough. Super easy, healthy, delicious, whole food meal the whole family loves.

4. Roasted Garlic Dressing

Honey Mustard: Whisk 2 tablespoons each of honey, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper to taste. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil. So easy, super classic, I love honey mustard dressing on all the things.

5. Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

Honey Poppy Seed: Whisk 2 teaspoon black poppy seeds, 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Gradually whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil. This one I have around most of the time because it always hits the spot. This is great on salads with berries and other sweet fruits in them, it compliments them nicely.

6. Honey Poppy Seed Dressing

Asian Sesame: Whisk 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or other neutral oil), 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. This dressing is also excellent on Asian inspired noodle recipes and chicken salads.

7. Asian Sesame Dressing

Peanut-Lime: Blend 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons water, the juice of one lime, 1 tablespoon each rice or white vinegar, chopped peeled ginger, soy sauce, and honey in a blender. This dressing is awesome on “quinoa” bowls (roasted veggies/protein/quinoa) and it’s also excellent on fish.

8. Peanut-Lime Dressing

Creamy Blue Cheese: Whisk 1/4 cup each butter milk and sour cream, 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, the juice of 1/2 a lemon, and salt and hot sauce to taste. Here’s a little secret, if blue cheese is too strong for you, you can actually make this with crumbled feta for a more mild dressing that is still wonderfully creamy and cheesy. Dip everything in this including hot wings.

Homemade Keto Ranch Dressing Recipe

Cups (500 grams) Sour Cream

Tablespoon Fresh Chives

Tablespoon Fresh Parsley

Tablespoon Fresh Dill

Garlic Cloves pressed

Lemon Juice

Salt and Pepper

Ingredients needed for Keto Ranch Dressing Recipe

First of all, prepare all of your ingredients. I have replaced the mayo with sour cream to reduce calories. Regarding herbs, it is best if you could use all the fresh ones. Chop all herbs into tiny pieces, press your garlic, squeeze juice from lemon and get 2 cups of sour cream.

Sour Cream and Lemon

Let us start with a big mixing bowl into which you can add all of the sour cream and the juice from freshly squeezed lemon.

Herbs and garlic

As the next step, add all of the herbs one by one, which is, in our case, dill, chives, and parsley. Add freshly pressed garlic cloves.

The last two ingredients are salt and pepper. I only add approximately one teaspoon each as I always like the fresh aroma from the other herbs.

Combine

Once all ingredients are in the mixing bowl, take your spatula or a spoon and mix all herbs with the sour cream until all thoroughly combined.

Awesome! I used plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream just because it’s what I have and to me it tastes like sour cream. . This is a keeper!

Absolutely the best ranch I’ve ever eaten!❤️ I keep the dry ingredients made and ready to go at all times.

Natasha, your recipes never disappoint! This is hands down the best ranch I’ve ever had! Thank you!

I don't like, many store bought ranch dressings so I tried this one! It's AMAZING!! I didn't realize I didn't have any dill so I just added a tiny bit of hvr powdered mix. I won't be buying store bought dressing anymore! This will be great this summer on home grown tomatoes and cucumbers! Thank you!

Such a delicious and easy ranch dressing recipe. Never buying store bought again!

Love all your recipes but what I really love is your videos. You make any cooking absolutely fun.
My question is,
Do you have a home made mayonnaise recipe?

Perfect! No excuse to ever buy bottled again. Natasha takes any guess work out for us.

This is THE. BEST.  Ranch recipe ever!  It’s creamy, and the flavor is spot on. Trust the recipe, don’t do what I did and add more dill. Let it sit in the fridge for a bit to allow the flavors to meld.  You won’t be disappointed.
