Today I am making a homemade ranch dip to be used as a dip for veggies or can be thinned out to be used as a salad dressing.  I stopped buying salad dressings and dips from the grocery store more than 20 years ago. I never liked them-even as a kid when my palate favoured all things processed. In university, I discovered that I could make my own salad dressing with olive oil and vinegar. It was a game changer for me and I’ve been expanding my collection of salad dressings ever since.

I love ranch dressing in particular because of the herbs. Not only are herbs nutrient dense but they add alot of flavour. I used chives, parsley, dill in this recipe.  I use fresh herbs when I can but dried herbs taste good here as well.

I used an avocado oil based mayonnaise for this recipe. Mayonnaise made from healthy oils (avocado or olive oil) are hard to find and can be expensive. Costco used to carry a really good one, that was reasonably priced, made from avocado oil but they haven’t had it in awhile. If you use regular mayonnaise (like Hellman’s)- it’s ok. This is the only time I make concessions for seed oils. Use greek yogurt or canned coconut milk as a substitute if you like.

Try this ranch dip/dressing recipe. It’s super easy to make and only takes a minute. See the video below for how easy it is

Enjoy!
