This Keto Ranch Dressing will become a staple in your house just like it is in mine! It keeps perfectly for lunch all week and is so delicious you will find yourself getting excited by salad again. Although my family would say that I am demanding when it comes to food, my needs are really very simple. I want flavor-packed dishes with at least a hint of a wow factor.

Life is too short for bland foods, am I right?

I love to spend an entire afternoon in the kitchen creating something special, but the truth is that that happens maybe a few times a year. For the other 99% of the time, I rely on dips, sauces, and dressings to bring on dinnertime bliss. They are the easiest way to transform something mundane into something special.

This Keto Ranch Dressing is the perfect example!

Every weekend I make a dressing like this one or my Keto Poppy Seed Dressing, Caesar Dressing, or Blue Cheese Dressing.

(Can I get a yay for salad dressings that make your tastebuds sing?) I especially love this Keto Homemade Ranch Dressing because it also works double duty. I've left it thick enough that you can also use it as a gluten free dip for chicken wings, spread, or as a chicken marinade. (Don't miss this Cheesy Keto Ranch Chicken. Dinner doesn't get much easier!) I love having a recipe like this one in the fridge because it has me looking forward to salads all week. Plus I can let it to the heavy lifting when it comes to creating a meal that looks and tastes fancy in less than 20 minutes.

Gotta love that!

Tips & Tricks

The combination of sour cream, heavy cream, and apple cider vinegar mimics the tang of buttermilk. I use apple cider vinegar to keep the carbs as low as possible. If you don't have it, lemon juice or even white vinegar are great options. Have fresh herbs on hand? They will make this Homemade Keto Ranch Dressing spectacular! I would recommend a tablespoon of fresh chopped oregano and ½ tablespoon of fresh chopped dill. Parsley is another great addition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ranch Dressing Keto? Most homemade ranch dressing recipes are appropriate for a low carb and keto diet. When purchasing prepared ranch, make sure you read the label. Many are suitable, but you want to make sure that you avoid any brands with added sugar. How Long Does Ranch Dressing Last? Homemade ranch dressing will last for up to a week in the refrigerator provided that it is tightly sealed. I recommend storing it towards the back rather than in the door to keep it as cool as possible.

How to Make Keto Ranch Dressing

"Sour" the cream: Add ¼ cup heavy cream and apple cider vinegar to a medium bowl and stir. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Whisk Well: Make sure you whisk well until the dressing is smooth.

Thin As Needed: The dressing will be thick at this point and perfect for dipping. Add additional cream or bone broth as needed to reach the desired consistency.
