- Time 10"
A thick and creamy homemade ranch dressing recipe made with Greek yogurt, oil, egg, vinegar, and some simple spices. The raw egg acts as the emulsification element, similar to a mayonnaise or aioli. Check out the notes below for ways to make this ranch recipe dairy-free and plant-based too!
How To MakeDiet Type: Low-carb
Shopping List
- 3/4 cup grapeseed oil or avocado oil (not extra virgin olive oil)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek 2% yogurt (Note 2)
- 1 egg (Note 3)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Add all the ranch dressing ingredients, including the raw egg, to a wide-mouthed mason jar (we use this one). Use an immersion blender (we use this one) to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You could also use a small blender here, slowly adding in the oil until it emulsifies.
- Serve: Refrigerate up to 5 days. This is great in Sweet Potato and Ranch Salad and Warm Barbecue Ranch Bowls.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Recipe inspired by Whole Sisters' infamous Dump Ranch. Note 2: Want a dairy-free option? Use a thick non-dairy yogurt such as Harmless Harvest. Alternatively, use an equal amount of full-fat coconut milk. Shake the can well before using. Note 3: Want an egg-free option? Try using 1/2 of an avocado. It will turn the ranch paleo green and gives a slight avocado flavor, but it still tastes great. Add a little water to loosen as needed.
