Homemade Ranch Dressing (Gluten Free)
This homemade ranch dressing is easy and additive-free. Made without MSG or buttermilk, you can customize it to be gluten free, dairy free, and vegan.
Servings: 10 people
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons shallot, peeled and minced or substitute 1 tablespoon of dried shallots
- 2 teaspoons dried chives or 1½ tablespoons fresh
- 1/8 teaspoon dried mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped 2-3 teaspoons dried
Instructions
- Combine the vinegar and milk together and allow it to sit and "curdle" into homemade buttermilk. Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth. Chill for at least 30 minutes - 1 hour. It will thicken more the longer it chills. Serve on a simple salad or use as a dip for veggies.
- Sometimes the onion flavor can get a little more strong on day two. If you don't like that flavor, just reduce or omit the shallots.
Notes
- Milk substitutes, like oat milk, will not thicken the same as real milk. It must be chilled from 30 minutes to an hour to thicken properly. If it's still too thin, add a little more mayo or consider stirring in a pinch of arrowroot or cornstarch.
- This dressing will keep in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
