Whole30 Ranch Dressing (AIP and Paleo)

This simple homemade Whole 30 Ranch Dressing is dairy free, egg free, AIP, and Paleo. Made with coconut milk, it's perfectly creamy and still has that irresistible, classic flavor! Use it as a veggie dip, a traditional salad dressing, or as a creamy sauce in other dishes.

It's no secret that I was totally ranch dressing averse for the rest of my pregnancy after my a little snafu in my first trimester (A.K.A….eating half a bottle of Primal Kitchen ranch dressing in one go! 🤢

I've since recovered my love for all things ranch! This ranch dressing makes a wonderful veggie dip, classic salad dressing, or as the sauce in recipes like my Bacon Chicken Ranch Casserole.

Is this Whole 30 ranch dressing healthy?

This Whole 30 ranch dressing has super simple ingredients! There are no added gums, sugar, or inflammatory oils like you might find in store-bought ranch dressing. Here are some of the healthy swaps in this Whole 30 ranch dressing:

Coconut milk & coconut yogurt

Coconut milk keeps this ranch dairy free, Paleo, Whole 30, and AIP! Plain coconut yogurt is the perfect thickening agent.

Can't find coconut yogurt? No worries! You can swap out the yogurt for another 1/2 cup of coconut milk. The dressing will be slightly thinner, but just as delicious.

Avocado oil

Avocado oil is the perfect healthier swap for inflammatory oils like canola or vegetable oil. It's neutral enough not to influence the flavor too much.

You can use olive oil, but I find it leaves a slightly bitter taste. I prefer avocado oil in this dressing!

So while I may be averse to store bought ranch dressings… well, you can find me licking the blender clean after I make mine.

Don't believe me? Do a blind taste test and report back.

How to make this Whole 30, Paleo, and AIP ranch dressing

This Paleo ranch dressing couldn't be easier to make! You'll need a high speed blender and a glass container.

First, add your coconut milk, coconut yogurt, avocado oil, and apple cider vinegar in your blender. Blend until fully emulsified, meaning that the oil and vinegar are completely combined.

Next, add your dried herbs, garlic, onion powder, and sea salt to the mixture. Pulse a few times to combine.

And that's it! Store your dressing in a glass container with a tightly sealed lid.

How to store this ranch dressing

I recommend storing your ranch dressing in a glass container with a tightly sealed lid. A mason jar works wonderfully! It will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week (if it lasts that long!)

Can I freeze this dressing?

Because this dairy free, AIP ranch dressing does not contain buttermilk, it can be frozen! It may change the texture slightly, however, so I recommend only making as much as you know you'll use that week.
