Best Homemade Ranch Dip/Dressing {Whole30 + Paleo}
This is seriously the Best Homemade Ranch Dip (or Dressing)! It’s fast + easy to make, healthy, and tastes so much better than the store-bought variety. It’s even dairy-free, Paleo and Whole30 compliant!
HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE RANCH DIP/DRESSING
Making ranch dip/dressing is easy. Most homemade ranch recipes contain sour cream and/or mayo as a base. I chose to use a whole food brand of mayo to keep this recipe Whole30, paleo and simply healthier. I also added:
- Dried parsley
- Dried dill
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Almond milk (any milk will work)
- Salt + pepper
Add everything to a bowl and stir it all together or add it to a mason jar, give it a shake, and you’ve got a fast and tasty ranch dressing that’s so much better than the bottled variety.
Let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes and you’ll have a great ranch dip.
Want to swap the mayo for Greek yogurt? No problem, that will work too. It won’t be paleo or Whole30, but it will save you some calories.
This Homemade Ranch Dip makes for the most delicious veggie stick dip.
It’s one of my go-to healthy snacks, whether it’s for myself or to share at a gathering.
Here is a list of ways to enjoy this healthy Ranch Dip/Dressing:
- Drizzled on a salad
- Veggie stick dip
- Dip for roasted veggies
- Added to creamy chicken or tuna salads
- Dip for chicken, fish, pork, or steak
- In a lettuce wrap with chicken, bacon, tomatoes, avocado – yum!!
- Dip for my family’s favorite chip – popchips!

Perfect! I only had mayonnaise and 1/2 and 1/2 and it worked great for my carrot craving!
So happy you enjoyed!
I love ranch dressing! This is a great recipe for keeping it dairy free 🙂
We love having Ranch dressing/dip at the ready because we use it on so many different dishes and snacks. Your homemade version looks and sounds far superior to any store bought bottle.
Love that use almond milk! I think I could dip EVERYTHING in this!
This dip came just in time for Game Day! We eat Ranch like it’s going out of style!
I can’t believe this dip is made without sour cream or cream cheese! Love the light healthy nature of it. And RANCH — seriously love it!
Nothing like a good homemade dressing that can be served as a dip too. Perfect addition to my BIG game menu, can’t wait to try it!
What a great idea – a really light version of a super creamy dip. Those chips look lovely too – perfect for dunking!
Perfect for this weekend! I love all your suggestions! Homemade is so much better than store bought!
This is sounding very delicious. Perfect for when you run out of your favorite dip!
My kids are HUGE ranch fans and we go through a lot! I love the idea of making my own for them vs the store bought type, thanks.
