Homemade Ranch Dressing, 3 Versions...Low Carb, Paleo & Green Goddess

Homemade Ranch Dressing

(3 versions)

 

1/2 cup buttermilk (I prefer Marburger Gourmet, as it has less sugars, available at WalMart, usually)

3/4 cup mayo

1/2 - 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

2-3 tsp lemon juice (or lime)

1 tsp organic minced garlic

1/2 - 1 tsp onion powder (to taste)

1 Tbsp dried parsley

dash of salt & pepper if desired

 

Put all this in a wide mouth jar or some other tall, narrow container that a stick blender will fit into.

Blend away moving around top to bottom to mix it well. Store in fridge. Stays good for 1-2 weeks.

 

Paleo/Non-Dairy Version

Instead of using buttermilk, use plain unsweetened coconut milk.

Use homemade mayo if possible, as well. Use less coconut milk if you want it to be firmer/more like a dip.

 

Green Goddess version(for either above)

Add in 1/2 a small avocado and blend well. I recommend mushing up/blending the avocado first so it will be easier to blend in with no lumps.
