Ingredients in Keto Ranch Dressing
You probably have everything you need in your kitchen right now to make this super simple keto ranch dressing. Mayo (<- link to homemade because it is the best), almond milk (<- another link to homemade because it’s the best), lemon juice and 6 dried herbs and spices.
If fresh herbs are your thing, you can of course use fresh herbs instead. In the same quantities. But I prefer using dried herbs because I don’t always have all the fresh herbs I need on hand.
How To Make Homemade Keto Ranch Dressing
My favorite way to make this ranch is in the mason jar. First, I’ll make a batch of my homemade mayo which you must make in a mason jar.
While I have out the immersion blender, I add in the spices, lemon juice and almond milk. The whole process takes me less than 5 minutes. Bonus? It’s already in the jar I’m going to store it in!
How Long Does Homemade Keto Ranch Dressing Last?
Your homemade ranch dressing will last for at least 2 weeks refrigerated after making it. Just check for spoilage.
But I’m sure you’ll finish it all way before then. Because once you try this homemade ranch, you’re going to want to put it on ALL THE THINGS!

Keto Ranch Dressing
Ingredients
- 1 cup avocado oil
- 1 egg
- juice from 1 lemon, about 2 tablespoons
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 of dairy free milk, almond milk, original nutpods, coconut milk, etc, or more to thin to desired consistency
Instructions
- In a wide mouth pint size mason jar, add the avocado oil, egg, lemon juice, dijon mustard, dried parsley, dried chives, dried dill, kosher salt, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Add in your immersion blender, pressing it all the way to the bottom and trapping the egg yolk.
- Turn the immersion blender on high speed, and slowly bring it up as the egg and oil emulsify. (You're essentially making a ranch mayonnaise).
- Add in 1/4 cup dairy free milk (or more to thin to desired consistency). Stir it in with a spoon, or add the immersion blender back in to mix it.
- Best if refrigerated for 1 hour before serving so the ranch has time to marinate all the herb flavors. But I've eaten this right away before and it's still good. Just gets better the longer it's refrigerated!
- Will keep in an airtight container for 1 week.
- As always, lots of tips, FAQs and substitution info in the Recipe Notes!

THE best. I’ve switched up and tried others this hands down my fave. Ive also added sriracha to this for a taco salad dressing. *****
If you are thinking about this, go for it. It is so good. It had my kids asking for veggies by 8am because they wanted to dip them in this ranch. :)
And yes, it is ready in only a matter of minutes!
Omg why didn’t I make homemade ranch sooner! Where has this been all my life! Even better than restaurant ranch! Your recipe is delicious! Thank you!!
Yea! Isn’t it the best? Seriously, life-changing! Honored to have you compare it to restaurant ranch!
Yum!
Thanks!
Did you eat this as-is while pregnant? I know there is always the option to buy pasteurized eggs for this concern. Just wondering!
Yes! I feel fine with it and ate when pregnant.
But you can get pasteurized eggs from the store or pasteurize yourself if that feels safer for you!
I’ve been meaning to try this for ages.
..its so amazing!!!! I didnt have onion powder and I substituted dried dill and chive for fresh dill and the greens of scallions . It tasted so good , so I think dont be afraid to sub in for whatever you have!.
I didnt add any non dairy liquid because i like it thick . Thanks Natalie for another great recipe x
Hi Carollan! I am so glad you like this recipe for my ranch dressing! It’s one of my favorites! Love that you were able to tweak things here and there and make it your own!
Just wanted to say how much we love this ranch! (Along with all your other recipes!) I never thought I could give up that store brand. Also, Â we think your Mayo is the best. Seriously, your site is saving us right now during our first Whole 30!!Â
Awww Tami this makes me SO happy! I am so glad these recipes are helping you get through these 30 days! You got this!!
I made the zucchini fritters and my husband and I really enjoyed them – and I don’t love vegetables. They were so yummy. I made the ranch dressing (I’ve made it once before) but forgot the almond milk so it was super thick, which was good with the fritters – but I will add some almond milk before I use it again. Thank you for your wonderful, healthy, yummy recipes and inspiration!
Hi Lisa! Amazing! I am so happy to hear you liked my fritters and ranch- two of my favorites! Honored to have you here!
Absolutely love all your recipes!! I had a question about this ranch, if I don’t have an immersion blender or blender, do you think I can achieve the same consistency of ranch by shaking it in the jar really really well?
Hi Mercedes! Wouldn’t work for sure sadly! But! You can substitute 1.5 cups of store-bought mayo in place of the avocado oil, egg, and dijon mustard. Then you can mix it by hand with a fork, or shake it. Also! if you have a nutribullet or food processor, you could always try those!Â
I’ve been contemplating making our own Mayo, but nervous about using the raw egg.  Is there a particular kind I should use, I sure wish we had some chickens of our own!
Just be sure to use the freshest eggs you can find Kayla! I sure hope you like the mayo!
Best ranch dressing I have made. So good!!
Yeah! I am so glad you liked my ranch dressing Kayla. I LOVE that it was the best you have ever had. That is a fantastic compliment. :)
