Paleo ranch dressing is creamy, herby, and made for dunking. Fresh minced dill and garlic stir into a paleo mayo base for a dressing that tastes like the real thing without any dairy or buttermilk. Serve it with carrot and celery sticks and watch the half-cup disappear in one sitting.

Pro Tips

  • Fresh dill makes this dressing — dried dill gives a dusty flavor that no amount of mayo can lift. Mince it as fine as you can so it distributes evenly.
  • Let the dressing rest thirty minutes before serving. The garlic and dill bloom into the mayo and the flavor rounds out considerably.
  • Mince the garlic fine or grate it on a rasp grater. Raw garlic chunks in a cold dressing hit the palate hard and outbalance everything else.
  • The dressing thickens in the fridge. Whisk in a few drops of water or lemon juice to bring it back to dippable consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does paleo ranch keep?

About five days in a sealed jar in the refrigerator, matching the shelf life of the paleo mayo base. Stir before each use.

What can I use this ranch on besides vegetables?

It is superb with the antipasto salad kabobs, over a wedge salad, or as a dip for chicken tenders and sweet potato fries.

Can I make this without fresh dill?

Fresh is strongly recommended here. If you must use dried, halve the quantity — dried dill is far more concentrated than fresh.
