Ranch dressing. It’s a staple found in almost any home. Not only is it a favorite for salads, it can’t be beat as a veggie dip or for serving alongside hot wings. And what better ranch dressing than a homemade keto salad dressing? Super simple to make and the flavor can’t be beat, especially if you have this homemade mayo to start with!
makes 1 ½ cups
The Preparation
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon basil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
The Execution
1. I like to put all of my spices in a small bowl. However, it’s not necessary as it’s all going into the container at once.
3. Put all ingredients in emulsion blender container.
4. Blend for 30-60 seconds, until completely blended. Pour into a glass jar with a lid and refrigerate. It’s best to let flavors meld for several hours, but you can serve it immediately and it will still taste great! If you used the homemade mayo recipe found here, this will last for a few months. That is, if it doesn’t get eaten first!
Recipe Notes
If you don’t have an emulsion blender, you can put everything into a bowl and stir until well combined.
Adding about 1 Tbsp of finely diced onion instead of the onion powder is equally good.

How long would you say this could keep in the refrigerator? A week?
Yes. It should last 7-10 days. If you use the whey method, it will last at least a couple of months.
Oh my! I just made this, and it is FANTASTIC! The best home made ranch, in my opinon!
Glad to hear it, Heather – hope you guys keep enjoying it!
Hi, do you know how many serves are in the ranch dressing? Just trying to sort calories per serve
Amiria,
It makes 1 1/2 cups of Ranch dressing, so that’s 24 tbsp. in total. Using that information, you can find the serving sizes (as they might differ for you to another person).
Craig, you da MAN! I wondered if store-bought ranch (like Hidden Valley or Kraft) was keto, but I never trust those nutrition labels when it comes to sugar. Gonna have this with my veggies for keto snacks. Thanks for the recipe!
Absolutely delish! I omitted the cream and added a bit of sea salt. Truly yum yum yummy, I kept dipping my finger in for another taste. Now I just have to resist the temptation to use too much on my salad. I just may replace blue cheese dip for buffalo wings with this dressing. I also thought I could replace mayo and mix cream cheese with it for a chip dip. I think I could continue on and on and on. Looovvvved it.
Sounds great! I’m glad you liked it.
The BEST keto-friendly Ranch dressing ever! Maybe even just the best Ranch dressing ever . . .
What are garlic granules?
It’s dried garlic..a bit more texture than powdered garlic.
Is it okay to use fresh herbs instead of dried?
Yes, of course!
Does the garlic granules give it a garlic taste? Also can I mix it with a hand mixer or the ninjia?
It does, and I think you could use either to mix it.
Just made this and added fresh jalapeños from my garden and a squeeze of fresh lime juice to make jalapeño ranch dressing for my popcorn chicken tonight
Thank you so much for this recipe, I love this site and the books, can’t thank you enough for this
The jalapeno and lime juice addition sounds amazing!
If thick enough make a Jalapeno-Ranch and chicken pizza (keto approved of course). Add mozza on top or not. I was out of chicken so used barely cooked asparagus tops. Yum Yum Yum Idea is from Panago pizza – bacon I think as well – in Vancouver BC, BTW
