Ditch the sketchy processed bottled dressing and whip up this super quick, super easy, homemade paleo ranch dressing!
I’m currently building up my arsenal of dairy-free dressing recipes and having way too much fun experimenting in the kitchen.
If you’re playing catch-up, here are a few of my favorites so far:
- Easy Homemade Greek Dressing
- Easy Homemade Italian Dressing
- Creamy Avocado Dressing
- Avocado Dill Dressing
- Honey Sriracha Lime Dressing
- Blueberry Balsamic Dressing
I could go on and on, but we need to speed things along so I can share my latest dressing obsession with you!
Paleo Ranch Dressing
This paleo ranch dressing is crazy amazing and deliciously dairy-free thanks to the inclusion of dreamy, creamy coconut milk.
As with most dressings, this bad boy is gluten-free but it also as the added bonus of being keto-friendly, dairy-free, whole30 compliant and just overall awesome!
I’ve been enjoying it on top of salads, lettuce wraps, and my buffalo shrimp spaghetti squash and totally love it!
Paleo Ranch Dressing
Ingredients
- ¼ cup quality store bought or homemade mayo*

- ½ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp parsley (fresh or dried)
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

- Combine all ingredients in a mason jar and shake well.
- Place in fridge to chill + dive in when you're ready!
- The dressing can be made in advance and enjoyed for approx. 4 days.
Notes
Nutrition
If you’d like more garlicky goodness all up in your face, this dressing can handle it! Just start small and increase as you go since you can always add more, but can’t subtract. As written, I feel like it has quite a bit of garlic flavor. (Y’all know I love my garlic!) Flavors also tend to amplify by the next day if you’re making it to enjoy later.
If you get a chance to try this paleo ranch dressing, let me know!

This sounds so good I can’t. even. right now. Homemade ranch dressing is the best.
Absolutely LOVING the ingredients in this! We go through ranch like crazy, it’s amazing I haven’t made it at home yet, and I’m sure it will taste so much better. Can’t wait to try this!
This ranch sounds so good, I´m going to opt to use fresh garlic instead of powder, I just love raw garlic, will try it out with just 1/2 a clove minced and go from there! super recipe
Yes it’s great with fresh too! I grew up on those packet ranch dressings so I have a soft spot for the powder but fresh garlic is always welcome around here! 🙂 Hope you adore it!
I can hardly bear the thought of bottled dressings anymore. I have never tried a dairy-free version. You have peeked my curiosity! Pinning!
Thank you Debbie! Hope you get a chance to try it! 🙂 I’m team #makeallthedressing as well and it’s great knowing exactly what ingredients are in your dressing AND getting to control the flavor/consistency too. Love it so!
