Here at Kitchen and Kids we are ranch dressing fiends. By fiends, I mean we literally put it on EVERYTHING! I’m sure it is a southern thing, but oh well … I am southern.
With that being said, I had to come up with a solid ranch that could compete with our store-bought ranch dressing. Why you ask? Because we are doing Whole 30 and our store bought just wouldn’t work. Now let me preface this recipe and any reference to Whole 30 … I am not well versed in Whole 30 and I am still learning, so if something isn’t Whole 30 friendly please forgive me. I do research items before creating a recipe, but there are so many opinions.
Also, I do not have an affiliate link with Amazon, so any link I post is strictly for your reference.
Now, here is pretty stellar ranch dressing that my family inhales. They like it on potatoes, salad, with plantains, and on various casseroles.
Yields approximately 2 1/2 cups
1 1⁄2 c. paleo mayo (homemade or store bought)
1 (5.4 oz) can coconut cream
1 to 1 1⁄2 tsp date paste (or 1 date)
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dill
2 Tbsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Mix mayo, coconut cream, date paste, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper together with an immersion blender or traditional blender.
Add in the dill and parsley. Whisk to combine.
Store in the fridge.
This ranch dressing only gets better as it sits, so feel free to make it ahead of time if you think about it. I typically forget to do that.
Oh, and one other note … you can make amazing deviled eggs using a bit of this ranch dressing. AMAZING!! Those were gone in 2 minutes flat in my house. Another great thing to do is to put grated horseradish into the ranch for horseradish ranch … even my young ones love it.
Here are a few products that I used in the above recipe with Amazon links. However, you may be able to get some of the items off Thrive Market for a smaller investment.
