How do you make ranch dip from scratch?
With just a few ingredients (probably in your kitchen) you can make the best ranch dressing and dip!
Several times a week we made this ranch dip.
When making healthier choices with whole, healthier foods for our family, one part has been a dip or dressing we love.
Choosing natural foods is something I am conscious of.
I wanted a healthy and natural dip for my vegetables and for my salad. A ranch dip without sugar, preservatives, and it had to taste good!
Ranch Dip for Veggies
Dressings can have MSG (monosodium glutamate) which can cause headaches. Chemicals can cause me to have one. Also, corn syrup is in most dips and dressings.
When corn is in this state, it turns into a drug in your body causing several issues. and genetically modified organism (aka GMO) is also bad and corn is high on the GMO list.
Finding a dressing at the health food store became difficult to find the flavor I wanted.
I’m not fond of a strong vinaigrette dressing. The ranch dressing never tasted good to me either, so I was in desperate need of finding something.
Easy Ranch Dip
When I first started making my own dip, I was using my homemade mayonnaise and my creamy homemade yogurt.
I have experimented with a few different recipes and created one for our family that is fabulous!
Recently, I started using sour cream instead and we like it even better now!
These ingredients are so easy to pick up at the local store you’ll never buy store-bought ranch dip/dressing again.
We like this ranch dip recipe for chips too. We buy this brand of potato chips Cape Cod or Boulder when we have a Fun Friday Free Day. Boulder is healthier because they use olive oil. Cape Cod uses vegetable oil.
You will like this flavor and will never want another ranch dip again!
Ingredients
Method
- I mix all ingredients and add milk/buttermilk for a salad dressing.
- substitute greek yogurt or light sour cream
Regular sour cream has more fat and fewer carbohydrates.
More fat helps you stay full longer. Adding cream cheese for a different flavor might be exactly the taste you’re looking for. You could also make this with Greek yogurt or light sour cream.
Homemade Ranch Dressing
Making a creamy ranch dip/dressing is easy to add to your homemade condiments. Now, you’ll have a dip to add to your salad to add to the dinner menu, the kids hopefully eat their raw veggies, and help you with dinner….maybe!
